Tuesday’s game: Braves vs. Blue Jays
Where: Turner Field
When: 7:10 p.m.
TV/Radio: SPSO/680, 93.7, 106.7
Probable starting pitchers: Braves RH Julio Teheran (10-7, 4.38 ERA) vs. LH Mark Buehrle (14-7, 3.72)
What's new: The Braves have lost 12 straight games at Turner Field, a first, and it's also the first time they've lost at least 12 in a row at home since at least 1914 when the team was in Boston. The Braves are 5-12 in interleague play this season, and their only series win came against the Blue Jays in Toronto on April 17-19. That was a different Braves team that has been largely dismantled since then and has five relievers in the bullpen who would otherwise be in Triple-A Gwinnett if not for the rebuild. Braves' relievers rank 29th in the majors with a 4.80 ERA and are tied with Seattle for the second most losses with 29. Daniel Castro is hitting .318 (14-for-44) in 11 starts, including three hits in Sunday's loss to the Mets when he started at second base.
