Contreras Back Behind The Plate vs. Rays

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” is an overused adage, but it appears to be one Brian Snitker knows well. After dropping two touchdowns on the New York Mets last night, the Braves’ lineup stays identical as the team heads down to Tampa to see if the offensive machine can pick up where it left off.

After becoming the first baseball player to hit a ball into the Canis Major Dwarf Galaxy last night, Austin Riley sticks in the lineup, hitting seventh and playing third base. Matt Adams continues his designated hitter duties tonight, and will again hit fifth. After his blazing start, cult hero William Contreras gets the nod again behind the plate. He will catch Mike Foltynewicz, whose velocity was down in his only Summer Camp 2.0 start.

Folty will face an intriguing Rays’ lineup, arranged by manager Kevin Cash.

The Rays will send Tyler Glasnow to the mound in an attempt to stifle the Braves’ bats.

First pitch is slated for 6:40pm ET.
