The Braves are sending out Soroka who could easily be the staff ace and that will definitely help the Braves in this game. What else will help the Braves out is Keller has not pitched a ton this year and his inexperience will show as the Pirates pitcher struggles against the Braves lineup and gives up quite a bit of production to the Braves. Final Score, Atlanta Braves win 5-0.
