"The Atlanta Braves pulled off a win against the National League Central-leading Chicago Cubs in yesterday's matchup and are now looking at rookie JR Ritchie to continue their winning streak to capture an early series win. Ritchie, who's boasting a 3.63 ERA and 1.50 WHIP, didn't appear in his usual rotation during the Los Angeles Dodgers series. His last start was against the Seattle Mariners, where he walked six batters during his stint."
"He remarked in an interview that he was going to study film to see what specific things were wrong with his approach to correct for his next outing. Well, now the time has come for him to put his studying to the test. Already an impressive young flame-thrower, getting his fourth start on the mound with a veteran-heavy team behind him to hold down the offense, should lead to an entertaining showdown against the split-finger master and the Cubs."
"Speaking of which, Shota Imanaga, holding a 2.28 ERA with a 4-2 record so far this year, is out to lead the team to their comeback of the night. Coming off a dominant win against the Reds on May 7 ( 6 IP/ 6 H/ 1 ER/ 3 BB/ 10 K), Imanaga will want to capitalize on the Braves' lack of offensive power (despite their game one win) from the night before, and get ahead of them early to set the tone for the Cubs."
"It's all going down tonight at Truist at 7:15 p.m. EDT. Game Time: Wednesday, May 13th, 7:15 pm EDT. Location: Truist Park, Atlanta, GA. Radio/Audio: 680 AM / 93.7 FM The Fan"
