The Braves are using a standard lineup once again after Matt Joyce’s impressive feats as a starter on Sunday afternoon. The Pirates, meanwhile, have a bit of a different look given the return of Jung-Ho Kang, though Corey Dickerson isn’t drawing the start in tonight’s contest.

This is going to be the tenth time the Braves have deployed this particular lineup — it’s their most commonly-used one so far this season. The next-closest lineup has only been used six times. And yes, this is the same lineup the Braves deployed in their 7-4 defeat in Round 1 of this pitching matchup.
