Pitchers look to build on strong starts as Marlins host Braves

Field Level Media

Two reliable starting pitchers who are coming off redemptive outings will oppose each other on Friday when the Atlanta Braves open a three-game series at the Miami Marlins.

Atlanta's Charlie Morton (2-3, 4.93 ERA) and Miami's Trevor Rogers (2-4, 4.45) are both coming off strong outings in what otherwise has been a disappointing start for both.

Rogers looked good in his most recent start on Saturday against Milwaukee. He pitched 5 1/3 innings and allowed one run on five hits with eight strikeouts to earn his second win of the season.
