It's Wednesday, May 28 and the Braves (25-28) are in Philadelphia to take on the Phillies (35-19). AJ Smith-Shawver is slated to take the mound for Atlanta against Zack Wheeler for Philadelphia.
Philadelphia won the series opener, 2-0, yesterday but did take a major loss with Bryce Harper exiting after being HBP on his elbow (X-rays are negative). The Braves are in a bad spot with a 1-5 record over the last six, but Ronald Acuna Jr. is bringing life to this lineup with two homers in three games.
The Phillies have won five straight with Wheeler on the mound, while the Braves five-game winning streak with Smith-Shawver was snapped in his last outing.
