HOUSTON - The Braves need one more win to eliminate the Marlins and advance past the National League Division Series for the first time in 19 years.
Kyle Wright starts the potential clincher Thursday afternoon against Miami’s Sixto Sanchez. It’s a meeting of two of the NL East’s most promising young right-handers.
Should the Braves advance, they would go to Arlington, Texas, for the best-of-seven NL Championship Series against either the Dodgers or Padres. The Dodgers lead the Padres 2-0 in their NLDS, which is being held in Arlington. The Braves and Dodgers are the only two teams entering Thursday without a loss this postseason.
