The Atlanta Braves avoided a four-game sweep against the Phillies through strong pitching from Hurston Waldrep and a late clutch hit from Rookie of the Year candidate Drake Baldwin. The team plans to bring that momentum to Chicago to face the playoff-bound Cubs. Spencer Strider is slated to start and will attempt to hinder the Cubs' effort to catch the Brewers for a better playoff seed. Atlanta's offense had been red hot before the Phillies series, and uncertainty remains whether the bats will rebound against a rotation not as strong as the NLE leaders. First pitch is at 4:05 EDT.
