Where: Coors Field, Denver
When: 8:10 p.m.
TV; radio: FSSO; 680, 93.7, 106.7
Probable starting pitchers: Braves RH Shelby Miller (5-4, 2.07) vs. RH David Hale (2-4, 5.89)
What's new: Even as the offense has been inconsistent with Freddie Freeman on the DL, Braves starters are doing the job. Entering this series, Braves starters had posted a 2.80 ERA (38 earned runs in 122 innings) over 20 games since June 17. Starters struck out 99 and walked only 34 over that stretch, and allowed only nine home runs. After Arodys Vizcaino and David Carpenter joined the Braves bullpen in Milwaukee, the Braves had used 49 different players this season, one shy of the Braves franchise record of 50. The Braves will miss Freeman even a little more against the Rockies. He has hit .318 against the Rockies for his career, with 11 home runs and 27 RBIs in 29 games.
