After watching another late lead slip away Friday night, the Atlanta Braves will try to get back in the win column Saturday when they continue their series against the Tampa Bay Rays. Atlanta homered three times in the game and had a 6-4 lead but was unable to hang on falling 7-6 in 10 innings Friday. The Braves remain four games back in the NL East standings thanks to New York losing to Pittsburgh Friday, but they desperately need to string some wins together.
Joc Pederson made his Braves debut Friday with a pinch hit appearance in the ninth inning.
