WEDNESDAY’S GAME: BRAVES AT DODGERS

Probable starting pitchers: Braves LH Alex Wood (2-2, 3.83) vs. RH Zack Greinke (5-1, 1.48)

What's new: Greinke was 0-1 with a 5.73 ERA in two starts against the Braves before he became a Dodger (with Kansas City and Milwaukee.) He's now 1-0 with a 0.60 ERA in two starts against them as a Dodger. Some new faces in the Braves lineup should help against Greinke. A.J. Pierzynski is hitting .404 (21-for-52) against him with three doubles, three home runs and eight RBIs. Nick Markakis is 5-for-12 (.294) with a homer and Jonny Gomes is 3-for-10 (.300) with two homers. Before Tuesday, the Braves had just two homers in their previous 16 games, including none in their previous eight. Jace Peterson's grand slam in the second inning of a May 16 win over the Marlins was the Braves' last homer. Cameron Maybin's nine-game hitting streak ended in the first game of this series. Maybin hit .355 (11-for-31) with three doubles, three stolen bases and six RBIs over that stretch.
