 The Braves beat the Tigers, 7-4, at home on Sunday, winning the series rubber match. They've won every series but two since May 3, going 7-2, with the only blemishes being a three-game sweep against the Dodgers and a two-game sweep against Washington.

 The Pirates fell to the Brewers, 4-2, at home on Sunday, dropping three games of the four-game set. They're now 4-10 since May 21, the worst record in the National League. They've allowed 105 runs in that span, 26 more than any other NL team.

 This will be the first meeting between these teams this season. Atlanta won five of the six games last year, holding Pittsburgh to two total runs in the three games at PNC Park. Prior to that sweep, the Pirates had won nine of their last 11 home games against the Braves.

 Dansby Swanson has recorded back-to-back games with at least two hits, two runs, and two RBI for the first time in his career. He has also homered in back-to-back games for just the second time in his career (also as a rookie in 2016).

 Max Fried allowed four runs (all earned) in 5.2 innings against the Nationals last Tuesday, dropping to 7-3 this season. That snapped a streak of three straight starts earning a win, the longest of his career.

 Steven Brault threw 5.1 shutout innings against the Reds last Wednesday, improving to 2-1 this season. It was the second time in his career he allowed zero runs in an appearance of at least 5.0 innings, also doing so in a start in Milwaukee in 2017.

HP - Timmons, 1B - Drake, 2B - Segal, 3B - Winters

Atlanta and Pittsburgh are meeting for the first time this season, and the Braves seem to have caught the Pirates at a vulnerable time.
The visiting Braves won the series opener 12-5 Tuesday at PNC Park, Atlanta's third straight win.

Pirates turn to Musgrove after blowing another game

PITTSBURGH (AP)  Joe Musgrove knew something was off.
It wasn't just the back-to-back losses he took in late May - it was the way he worked in those games. His typically smooth delivery got funky. The crispness that comes when he's rolling vanished.
