The Atlanta Braves will be looking for win No. 91 on Saturday when they continue their series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Braves enter play on Saturday tied with the Colorado Rockies for the No. 2 seed in the National League playoff race. So while the division is already wrapped up, home field advantage is still at stake.
As expected, Brian Snitker is going with his regular lineup sans Dansby Swanson against Phillies starter Aaron Nola. Charlie Culberson starts again at shortstop with Kurt Suzuki taking his turn behind the plate.
#Braves lineup Saturday: Acuña 7, Inciarte 8, Freeman 3, Markakis 9, Camargo 5, Suzuki 2, Albies 4 Culberson 6, Sánchez 1

Philadelphia comes into Saturday’s game having lost nine-straight games. Rhys Hoskins gets the start at first base on Saturday with Dylan Cozens taking over in left field. Jorge Alfaro returns to the lineup and will catch Nola.
