After an up and down (mostly down) road trip, the Atlanta Braves return home to SunTrust Park on Monday evening. Waiting for them will be the Texas Rangers to begin a seven-game homestand and an always entertaining Inter-League matchup.
R.A. Dickey takes the ball for the home team and he is coming off a tremendous outing last week. The veteran right-hander tossed eight innings of one-run baseball in a dominant win over the Phillies and, given that it was the first game of a double-header, Dickey’s performance was much needed in order to preserve a potentially taxed bullpen.
