Kevin Gausman was announced as the likely starter for the Atlanta Braves in Game 3 but they may now be rethinking that decision. MLB.com’s Mark Bowman reports that the team is now leaning toward giving the start to Sean Newcomb instead.

The Braves announced Gausman as their Game 3 starter. But they are now leaning toward starting Newcomb tomorrow.

Down 0-2 you can’t really fault Atlanta for pulling out all the stops. Newcomb came within one strike of throwing a no-hitter against Los Angeles during the regular season.
