Atlanta Braves in danger of suffering first three-game losing streak of the season

The Atlanta Braves are striving not to be swept.

The Seattle Mariners’ starters have been strong, while Atlanta’s batters have been quiet in the first two games of this series, with Seattle winning both. In the series finale, the Braves will send veteran Chris Sale to the mound to face Emerson Hancock, who was born in Cairo, Georgia.

Lineups for the Atlanta Braves and Seattle Mariners on Wednesday, May 1st 

Here’s how Atlanta will line up for the contest:

Sale is making his sixth start of the season and currently has a 3-1 record and a 3.69 ERA. He’s struck out 33 batters in 31.2 innings and is certain to continue his success tonight, since the Seattle Mariners have the most strikeouts in baseball with 311 entering Thursday. Only three players on the roster have faced Sale: Mitch Garver and Mitch Haniget are both 0-6, while Jorge Polanco is 4-13 with four RBIs.

Here’s the Mariners lineup:

Hancock, who is originally from Cairo, Georgia and attended the University of Georgia, will make his first professional start against the Atlanta Braves. He’s 3-2 in his five starts for Seattle this season, with a 5.06 ERA. He’s struck out nineteen and walked five in 26.2 innings, but he’s also given up five home runs, so the Braves could finally end their home run drought today.
