Round 2 for Elder and Alcantara as Braves take on Marlins

It’s time for the rematch between Bryce Elder and Sandy Alcantara, as the Atlanta Braves are rolling down to South Beach to take on the Miami Marlins for the start of a three-game series.

These two starting pitchers faced off last Wednesday and the game ended up being a bit of a wild one. The Marlins ended up finally being able to crack the Bryce Elder code, as Miami lifted off for three dingers against Elder over 5.1 innings for the 23-year-old hurler. Hitters had been making hard contact against Elder throughout each of his previous four starts, but only the Marlins were able to actually leave the yard against him.
