The brightest side of a 4:10 pm ET start? Not wallowing in the absolute stinker that was last night\u2019s game for a full day.<\/p>\n
The Braves will be looking to play a Normal game of baseball to deny the Fish a guaranteed series split. Here\u2019s hoping the gloves and bats that didn\u2019t make an appearance yesterday actually made it down to Miami for this one.<\/p>\n
Mart\u00edn P\u00e9rez (2-2, 2.25 ERA) has been an absolute professional whenever he has been given the ball. Whether it\u2019s stints of different lengths out of the bullpen or as a starter, he has been immensely valuable to the Braves and is making the most of a constantly-fluctuating situation.<\/p>\n
He\u2019ll make his sixth appearance as a starting pitcher, which will be his first since going 5.2 innings against Seattle on May 6. He was on the hook for the loss that night after giving up five hits, two earned runs, a homer, one walk, and matching his season-high in strikeouts with five. He tossed a perfect inning in each of his two relief appearances last homestand versus the Cubs and the Red Sox.<\/p>\n
Opposing P\u00e9rez for the Marlins is the lefty Braxton Garrett, who will be making his second start this season since being recalled from Triple-A on May 14th. Prior to that, you have to go back to June of 2024 to find the last time he pitched on a Major League mound before losing the rest of his season to left forearm flexor strain. He would land on the IL again in February 2025 after needing UCL surgery.<\/p>\n
As expected from such a long layoff , he struggled in his season debut versus the Twins. He only recorded four outs before being yanked and allowed four hits, five earned runs, walked five, and struck out three on 64 pitches. He didn\u2019t have a feel for his slider and the command issues were too much to overcome. Garrett will be looking to find his form again and substantially lower that 33.75 ERA.<\/p>\n
