Martin Perez to Start for Braves in Series Finale Against Marlins

Martin Perez is set to pitch for the Atlanta Braves on Thursday as they seek a three-game sweep against the Miami Marlins. This follows Perez's impressive last outing, where he nearly achieved a no-hitter, allowing only one hit over seven scoreless innings in a victory against the Washington Nationals.

The Braves have been on a winning streak, having secured seven consecutive victories and improving their record against the Marlins to 7-2 this season after a 4-1 win on Wednesday. Perez holds a 1-1 record with a 3.68 ERA in six career appearances against Miami.

He will face Janson Junk from the Marlins, who recently earned a win against the New York Mets. Junk has struggled in previous matchups against Atlanta, holding an 8.10 ERA in two starts. Meanwhile, Braves' Austin Riley is showing signs of improvement at the plate, contributing to the team's offensive efforts.
