Cristian Pache gets the Opening Day start in center against Phillies

Opening Day is finally here and the Atlanta Braves will begin the 2021 season on the road against the Philadelphia Phillies. There are no surprises for the Braves lineup who will roll out their normal group plus rookie Cristian Pache behind starter Max Fried. Pache will be making the first of hopefully many, Opening Day starts in center for Atlanta. Dansby Swanson will hit sixth and be followed by Austin Riley who will be at third.
