Kevan Smith Starts for Braves, Mckinney, Peraza in Lineup for Mets

The only change to the Braves lineup from last night will be Kevan Smith getting another start behind the plate with Atlanta’s hopes he can finally produce against a left-hander.

Guillermo Heredia will get another start in center field and bat sixth in the lineup. For the month of June, Heredia has the Braves highest OPS outside of their three candidates to start for the NL in the All-Star Game. Heredia is on pace to have one of the more productive seasons by a Braves center fielder in several years. His bat has certainly been a needed development in the bottom of the order.
