The Braves start a three-game series in the Steel City tonight, and will look to put a gnarly four-game sweep behind them. After being largely manhandled by the Rockies over the weekend, the Braves will turn to hard throwing righty prospect Bryse Wilson to start tonight against the Pirates, as he was called up from AAA today to make his first Major League start. He joins Mike Soroka and Kolby Allard as the third 20-year-old Braves pitcher to make his Major League debut in 2018.
If Wilson and the Braves are going to reverse their losing ways and post a W on Monday night, they will be doing it behind the strength of the following lineup:
There is a bit of a different feel for tonight’s order, as Ender Inciarte jumps up into the two-slot, and Ozzie Albies drops to 6th.
