Field Level Media

The Arizona Diamondbacks will send Braves nemesis Madison Bumgarner to the mound to begin a three-game series in Atlanta on Friday.

Bumgarner (6-9, 3.71 ERA) will be opposed by Atlanta right-hander Kyle Wright (12-4, 2.95), who has a five-game winning streak.

Arizona is coming off a three-gamesweep of the San Francisco Giants and has won five of its past six. The Braves lost two of three in Philadelphia and fell three games behind the New York Mets in the National League East.

The Diamondbacks took two of three from the Braves, May 30-June 1, in Phoenix in their previous meeting.
