The Braves’ lineup was announced for opening day, and Freddie Freeman will extend his streak of opening-day starts to eight.
Freeman already held the record for opening-day starts at first base. Also, pitcher Julio Teheran will make his fifth consecutive opening-day start. That is a record streak for a pitcher since the team moved to Atlanta, but not the overall record for starts by a pitcher.
The Braves open the season at 4:10 p.m. against the Phillies at SunTrust Park.
Here is the batting order:
CF Ender Inciarte
2B Ozzie Albies
1B Freddie Freeman
RF Nick Markakis
C Tyler Flowers
LF Preston Tucker
SS Dansby Swanson
3B Ryan Flaherty
P Julio Teheran
