Well losing the Chris Sale game was really not what the doctor ordered for the Braves playing at the Dodgers, particularly the way that the game was lost, but they have a chance to even things up tonight behind Spencer Strider.
There are a number of notable changes to the Braves’ lineup, as Mauricio Dubon returns to the leadoff spot, bumping Baldwin, Albies, and Olson down a spot each. Sean Murphy is catching tonight, batting seventh, and he has hit well against Snell, with two walks, a single, double, and homer in 8 plate appearances. Jorge Mateo returns to the lineup at shortstop against the lefty Snell, batting ninth, after Jim Jarvis took a few days due to Mateo jamming his finger. Additionally, Michael Harris plays centerfield for the second consecutive night, a good sign that his quad continues to feel better.
Game Time: Saturday, May 9th, 9:10 pm EDT
Location: UNIGLO Field at Dodger Stadium, Los Angeles, CA.
