The Atlanta Braves will try to extend their winning streak to three straight games Saturday when they continue a three-game series against the Texas Rangers. The Braves took the opener 6-3 behind four home runs and a good pitching performance by Ian Anderson on the mound.
Bryce Elder will be making his fourth start for Atlanta in Saturday’s game. Elder was pressed into service early in the season and was solid in his debut, but was plagued by walks during his next two starts. Elder didn’t walk anyone over 5 2/3 innings in his debut against Washington.
