However, the Braves are playing their best baseball of the season with wins in seven of their past eight while averaging 6.3 runs per game. Atlanta will look to sweep a three-game set with the Milwaukee Brewers in Georgia on Sunday.
Julio Teheran, who will start for the Braves, has posted some ugly numbers at SunTrust Park this season. The 26-year-old has a 6.65 ERA in eight home starts, which includes surrendering 11 home runs. Teheran has struggled with the long ball all season, as he has given up 12 dingers in his past seven starts.
Opposing Teheran will be Zach Davies, who has had his own struggles to keep the ball in the park. Davies has given up 11 home runs in his past 10 games. To make matters worse for the Brewers, he is coming off his worst outing of the season when he surrendered 10 hits and seven runs in 5.0 innings.
