For the final time this season, the Atlanta Braves are gearing up for a three-game set with the Pittsburgh Pirates at Truist Park. Though the Braves were eliminated from playoff contention a while ago, it will still be a fun one to watch since it will likely be Charlie Morton’s last outing.
There’s nothing at stake for the Pirates, either, who enter play with a 69-90 record. Nonetheless, the series gets underway Friday night at 7:15 ET with Joey Wentz on the bump. Game two will follow on Saturday at 7:15 with Spencer Strider penciled in. Morton will close things out Sunday afternoon at 3:15 ET.
Luckily for fans, this lackluster season will be behind us in just three short days.
Somehow, someway the Braves manufactured a ten game winning streak. They fell just short of eleven after Wednesday’s loss to the Washington Nationals.
