After another successful road trip, the Atlanta Braves return to Truist Park where they will begin a three-game series against the resurgent Baltimore Orioles. Atlanta went 5-1 on the trip and secured a series win against the Mets and a three-game sweep of the Marlins. The Braves enter play Friday with the best record in the National League at 22-10 and have a six-game lead over the Mets and Marlins in the NL East standings.
The Braves elected to push Max Fried back a day to Friday’s series opener rather than have him pitch the final game in Miami.
