No changes for the Braves’ lineup as they look to snap a three-game skid Tuesday against Boston.
The Atlanta Braves return home Tuesday for a brief two-game series against the Boston Red Sox. The Braves will be looking to snap a three-game skid after a 1-5 west coast road trip. Reynaldo Lopez will get the start for Atlanta while the Red Sox will go with right-hander Kutter Crawford.
Despite their recent struggles offensively, the Braves will stick with the same lineup for Tuesday’s opener. Travis d’Arnaud will be behind the plate and is hitting eighth. Jarred Kelenic starts against the right-hander and will play left field and bat ninth.
