A seven-game road trip for the Atlanta Braves begins Monday night when they begin a three-game series against the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Braves have won seven of ten overall and most recently took two of three from the NL West leading San Francisco Giants at Truist Park. They will carry a franchise record 13-game road winning streak into Monday’s matchup. Drew Smyly will get the start for Atlanta while the Dodgers will counter with lefty Julio Urias.
Brian Snitker will roll out a different looking lineup for the series opener. Travis d’Arnaud sat out Sunday’s game but is back in there tonight and hitting fifth. Adam Duvall will make his first start in a Braves uniform in center field and will be hitting seventh. Eddie Rosario will make his second straight start in left field and will hit eighth.
