Unsurprisingly, today’s matinee rubber game between the Braves and the Angels features your usual Braves lineup, with Eddie Rosario back in there against the righty-throwing Lucas Giolito, and Travis d’Arnaud returning to give Sean Murphy the day off.

Rosario sat last night to start, but entered the game late. d’Arnaud started in the first game of this series and gave way to Sean Murphy, who had a miserable game, last night. After a torrid start and quality hitting throughout the year, Murphy has entered his first real slump of the year since the All-Star Break, with a 7 wRC+ in 48 PAs.
