After an ugly loss Friday, the Braves will try to even the last series of this homestand against the Padres. Charlie Morton for the Braves will face off against Sean Manaea for what should be a pretty good pitching matchup.
We all know who Morton is at this point and hopefully he can continue to progress in a positive direction after a rough start to the season. Sean Manaea was one of a number of players offloaded by the Oakland Athletics this offseason. Manaea has been a pretty good pitcher for pretty much his entire career and that’s what he’s been so far this season, with all of his slash line numbers in the mid 3s.
