Where: at Rogers Centre, Toronto

When: 1:07 p.m.

TV/Radio: FSSO/680, 93.7, 106.7

Probable starting pitchers: Braves LH Alex Wood (1-0, 3.86) vs. RH R.A. Dickey (0-1, 2.19)

What's new: Freddie Freeman is looking to improve on his 3-for-23 (.130) homestand, results-wise anyway. He had his share of hard-hit balls, but only one extra-base hit — a homer Tuesday night — to show for it. Facing Dickey is a good place for him to start. Freeman has hit Dickey at a .476 clip for his career, going 10-for-21 with four doubles, two homers and five RBIs. It's addition by subtraction for the Braves, who won't have to face Dickey with Dan Uggla in their lineup. Uggla was notoriously futile against Dickey, going 1-for-26. Wood is 3-3 in interleague play for his young career, despite a 2.09 ERA over 10 games (five starts).
