The Atlanta Braves return to SunTrust Park on Wednesday for game three of a home-and-home series with the Toronto Blue Jays.

After taking game one 10-6 and game two 9-5 at the Rogers Centre, the Braves will look to extend their winning streak to three games and pick up their fifth win in their last six games. Atlanta came into the day tied with the New York Mets for second place in the National League East standings. The Mets fell 5-4 to the Arizona Diamondbacks this afternoon, so a win tonight would give the Braves sole ownership of second place.

Here's a look at Atlanta's lineup for tonight:

With Adonis Garcia being placed on the 10-day disabled list, Jace Peterson is getting the start at third base tonight. Earlier today, the Braves recalled Johan Camargo from Triple-A Gwinnett and he is expected to step into Peterson's utility role during Garcia's absence.
