They will look to avoid the sweep, as they are coming off two straight losses.

M. Dubón LF M. Harris II CF M. Olson 1B O. Albies 2B A. Riley 3B J. Mateo DH E. White RF H. Kim SS S. León C
M. Pérez SP
Kim is back in the starting lineup (and hitting 8th in the order).
The 30-year-old is currently batting .096 with five hits, three RBI’s, four runs and one stolen base in 15 games.
Kim is in his second season with the Braves.
He has also had stops with the San Diego Padres and Tampa Bay Rays over six total seasons in the MLB.
