Game 54: Red Sox vs. Braves, Connelly Early takes ball to even series

The Red Sox nearly rallied from a three-run deficit in the series opener against the Braves. Recent offensive performances have been solid, but wins have not matched the production. Boston will look for early run support for Connelly Early, who has allowed no more than three earned runs in each of his last three starts. Atlanta will counter with Bryce Elder, a right-handed pitcher who has been difficult to hit through two months. Elder has posted a 1.97 ERA as the Braves aim to take the series.
