The Atlanta Braves will return home Friday, where they will begin a five-game homestand with a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. Atlanta dropped two of three in Philadelphia and are 3-3 since the All-Star Break. They are 59-41 on the season and will begin play Friday three games back of the New York Mets in the NL East standings. Last Saturday, the Braves pulled within a half-game of the division lead, but have dropped three of their next four to shed 2.5 games in the standings. The three-game deficit is their largest since July 7.
