Elder, Braves Set for Rematch With Brewers on Tuesday

The Atlanta Braves just swiped two of three in a series against the Milwaukee Brewers last week, and now they'll look to win another series in Truist Park starting tonight.

Starting on the mound for Atlanta, Bryce Elder (2-4, 5.67) was called up once again corresponding to Reynaldo López's move to the injured list . The right-handed sinkerballer will look to rekindle his good command again tonight, just like he did a week ago in 6.1 innings of one-run ball with one walk and seven strikeouts against the Brewers. Elder is now 2-0 in three outings against Milwaukee in his two-year career – all quality starts.

On the hill for Milwaukee, 34-year-old Colin Rea (9-3, 3.59) will try to take matters into his own hands after exiting just before the Brewers torched the Braves bullpen in his start last Monday. The righty was solid, going 5.1 innings with only two runs allowed and six Ks, but he only got a no-decision as it wasn't until the sixth inning that Willy Adames hit a go-ahead three-run bomb. He's 1-0 with a 4.70 ERA in four career appearances versus Atlanta but has only finished the sixth inning once.

The Braves come into the game at 60-51 trying to bounce back from two consecutive losses to end the series with the Miami Marlins. Similarly, the Brewers are 62-49 and hope to rebound from losing their last two in a series with the Washington Nationals.
