Where: Coors Field, Denver

When: 4:10 p.m.

TV/Radio: FSSO/680, 93.7, 106.7

Probable starting pitchers: LH Alex Wood (6-5, 3.34) vs. RH Chad Bettis (4-4, 4.95)

What's new: Losing the first two games of this series means the Braves will go into the All-Star break with a losing record regardless of what they do Sunday. Wood gets the start after throwing two pitches before a lengthy rain delay washed out his start Thursday night in Colorado. He is 5-2 with a 2.43 ERA in 11 road starts this season, compared with 1-3 with a 5.18 ERA at Turner Field. The rookie left-hander Manny Banuelos, 1-0 with a 0.82 ERA, was originally scheduled to start Sunday but was to be available out of the bullpen the final two games before the All-Star break instead. Kelly Johnson had homered in three of his previous five games entering Saturday. Johnson batted 7-for-19 (.368) with seven RBIs over that span.
