Thursday’s game: Braves at Phillies

Probable starting pitchers: Braves RH Shelby Miller (5-7, 2.27 ERA) vs. RH Aaron Harang (4-11, 4.08)

What's new: The Braves are trying to snap a streak of three consecutive series losses on the road and five losses in their past six road series, dating to a mid-June series split in Boston. The Braves are 5-4 against the Phillies this season, with wins in both series at Turner Field and a loss in the series at Citizens Bank Park. Freddie Freeman, who homered Tuesday for the first time since his return from the disabled list, is hitting .391 (9-for-23) with four doubles and a homer in six games against the Phillies this season. Freeman is just 2-for-17 against Harang though.
