The Milwaukee Brewers are set to face off against the Atlanta Braves in a three-game series sweep attempt, with pitcher Frankie Montas leading the charge. After securing wins of 10-0 and 8-5 in the first two games, the Brewers are looking to extend their lead in the season series, currently standing at 3-2. With a comfortable six-game lead in the National League Central, the Brewers are in good shape as they aim for another victory.
Montas, who recently joined the Brewers from the Cincinnati Reds, will be taking the mound against the Braves’ Charlie Morton in what promises to be an exciting matchup. In his debut game for the Brewers, Montas showed his skills by earning a win against the Washington Nationals. With a record of 5-8 and a 5.03 ERA, Montas will be looking to continue his solid performance on the mound.
On the other side, Morton, with a record of 6-6 and a 3.94 ERA, will be aiming to bounce back from a tough outing against the New York Mets. Despite a recent slump, the Braves still hold the third NL wild-card position, just half a game ahead of the New York Mets. However, they will need to turn things around quickly to secure their spot in the playoffs.
Both teams have key players to watch out for in this upcoming game. Brewers’ Rhys Hoskins has been on fire, hitting safely in 12 consecutive games and producing impressive numbers at the plate. On the Braves’ side, Austin Riley and Orlando Arcia have been standout performers, looking to lead their team to victory.
As the Brewers aim for a sweep and the Braves fight to avoid further losses, this game promises to be a thrilling showdown between two talented teams. Following this matchup, the Braves will embark on a challenging 10-game road trip, while the Brewers will return home for a 10-game homestand. Stay tuned for more exciting baseball action ahead.
