Two teams hoping to bounce back and return to the postseason in 2026 face off Friday as the Arizona Diamondbacks host the Atlanta Braves for the second matchup of a four-game series.

Arizona had the misfortune of opening the season in Los Angeles and got swept by the Dodgers but returned home to sweep a Tigers team that made the playoffs the last two years. Corbin Carroll has unsurprisingly led the charge, while newcomers Nolan Arenado is still trying to find his swing early on.
The Braves, meanwhile, opened the season with a pair of series wins at home, taking two of three from the Royals and Athletics thanks in large part to their pitching staff, which allowed 12 earned runs through the first six games and posted a pair of shutouts. Drake Baldwin has been Atlanta’s hottest hitter so far; the reigning NL Rookie of the Year had three homers in the opening week.
Friday night’s pitching matchup features the veteran lefty Eduardo Rodriguez taking the ball for Arizona, while Atlanta will counter with Grant Holmes.
It’s Diamondbacks vs. Braves from Phoenix. Here’s when and where to tune in.
