Braves Look to Maintain Momentum Against Struggling Rockies

The Atlanta Braves are coming off a successful series where they swept the Los Angeles Dodgers in three closely contested games. They are set to face the Colorado Rockies in Atlanta, looking to extend their winning streak to five games.

Braves manager Walt Weiss emphasized the importance of maintaining focus, regardless of the opponent, to avoid potential setbacks. Right-hander Grant Holmes, who recently pitched a strong game against the Chicago White Sox, will start for the Braves. He has a mixed record against the Rockies, having previously allowed six runs in a game against them.

The Rockies, currently tied for the worst record in Major League Baseball, have lost eight of their last ten games. Manager Warren Schaeffer acknowledged the team's struggles but expressed optimism about their progress. Right-hander Tomoyuki Sugano will start for Colorado, looking to improve after two disappointing outings.
