The Marlins' bullpen has a 5.48 ERA, worst in the NL, but Kyle Barraclough has a 1.83 ERA and a .119 opponent batting average. Among pitchers that have appeared in at least 20 games this season, only Adam Ottavino (.089), Edwin Diaz (.099) and the Braves' Dan Winkler (.115) have a lower opponent batting average.

The Braves have won seven of their last nine games and had a 2.36 team ERA in those games. Their relief corps has posted a 2.77 ERA in May, the third lowest in MLB.

Atlanta took three of four games against Miami at Marlins Park earlier in May. Freddie Freeman went 9-for-15 in the series, including going 5-for-5 in one game, and is batting .374 against the Marlins since the start of 2016.

J.T. Realmuto currently leads all catchers in batting average (.313) and is second behind Francisco Cervelli in OPS (.924, minimum 100 plate appearances). He also leads the Marlins in batting average and OPS (minimum 100 PA).

Ozzie Albies needed just 99 games to reach 50 extra-base hits in his career. The only other player younger than Albies in the live ball era (since 1920) to reach 50 XBH in fewer than 100 games was Ted Williams (80 games at age 20-327).

Sean Newcomb has not allowed a run in his last three starts. He joins Mike Hampton and Paul Maholm as the only Braves left-handed pitchers since 2000 to not allow a run in three straight starts. No Braves lefty has gone four straight starts without allowing a run in the live ball era.

Braves left-hander Sean Newcomb brings a 20-inning scoreless streak into Friday's game against the Miami Marlins as the teams open a three-game series at SunTrust Park in Atlanta.
Newcomb (4-1, 2.51 ERA) will be opposed by right-hander Dan Straily (1-0, 5.54) when the National League East rivals meet for the second time this season. The Braves won three of four games against the Marlins last week in Miami.

Braves send out Newcomb to face Marlins

ATLANTA (AP)  Miami manager Don Mattingly knew Dan Straily wanted to earn the No. 1 starter's job when the team reported for spring training.
Those hopes were dashed when Straily strained his right forearm and was sidelined until April 30. But after two rough starts, Straily has settled down to win two straight and remind Mattingly that he can still help the rebuilding Marlins.
