April 13 - It will be experience against youth on the mound Saturday when the Atlanta Braves visit the Miami Marlins in the middle game of a weekend series.
The Braves, who won the series opener 8-1 on Friday, will start left-hander Chris Sale (1-0, 3.38 ERA), while the Marlins will go with right-hander Max Meyer (1-0, 2.45).
At 35, Sale is a decade older than Meyer. But their careers align in that both are former first-round draft picks, and both have missed one full season due to elbow surgery. Also, both pitchers are known for their superb sliders.
