May 14 - Chicago right-hander Jameson Taillon and Braves left-hander Chris Sale will try to follow the strong starting performances of their teammates in the series opener when they go head-to-head on Tuesday in the middle game of a three-game set at Atlanta.
The Braves won the opener 2-0 on Monday when Chicago's Shota Imanaga and Atlanta's Reynaldo Lopez each pitched five scoreless innings. Now it's up to Taillon (3-0, 1.13 ERA) and Sale (5-1, 2.95) to match those efforts.
The Braves have won five of their past six games overall and are 13-7 against the Cubs in Truist Park since it opened in 2017.
