Where: at Turner Field

When: 1:35 p.m.

TV/Radio: FSSO/680, 93.7, 106.7

Probable starting pitchers: Braves LH Alex Wood (1-0, 3.60) vs. RH Bartolo Colon (1-0, 1.50)

What's new: The few remaining mainstay Braves — Andrelton Simmons (4-for-10) and Freddie Freeman (6-for-10, three doubles) — haven't faced much of Colon but have fared well when they did. Newcomer Nick Markakis has hit him at a .276 clip (8-for-29) with four doubles. All the Braves hitters would love to give Wood an early lead like the seven runs they gave him in the first inning of his first start, which helped him to a season-opening win over the Marlins. The Braves' bullpen went unscored upon in 15 innings through the Braves' first four games, led by de facto closer Jason Grilli, who converted his first three save chances. Braves relievers had struck out 21 while walking only three.
