Braves Aim for Sixth Consecutive Win Against Rockies

The Atlanta Braves are set to host the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night, aiming to secure their sixth consecutive victory in the second game of a three-game series. This matchup follows the Braves' 6-4 win over the Rockies on Friday, as they strive to avoid the wild-card round in October.

Currently, the Braves are one game behind the Los Angeles Dodgers in the race for the No. 2 seed in the National League, which would grant them a bye into the NL Division Series. Atlanta has recently achieved a five-game winning streak, bolstered by a sweep of the Dodgers in a series of close games.

Left-hander Martin Perez is scheduled to pitch for the Braves, while the Rockies will counter with right-hander Ryan Feltner. Despite Ronald Acuna Jr.'s struggles this season, he recently contributed significantly to the team's success. Meanwhile, the Rockies, despite having Hunter Goodman return from injury and perform well, are facing a challenging season with the worst record in the National League.
