Manning has racked up eleven strikeouts through eight innings and has allowed five runs.
The Braves will roll out a lineup that has a solid mixture of every day starters and guys still looking to earn that final roster spot, Michael Harris II will be leading off with Ozzie Albies set to hit second as every starting infielder is in the lineup with the exception of Austin Riley who played Thursday. Luis Guillorme gets the start at third base and is batting seventh.
