The Atlanta Braves started the weekend series on a high note after Friday night’s 12-4 defeat over the Colorado Rockies. Bryce Elder got the ball to start the game; he threw 3.1 mediocre innings and allowed each of Colorado’s runs. The Atlanta offense, however, finally came to life and put together a few crooked number innings.

The Atlanta Braves manager felt pretty good heading into Sunday, but everything apart from one performance seemed to go wrong

The Colorado Rockies reinstated left-hander Austin Gomber from the 60-day injured list before his start in Sunday's game against the Atlanta Braves but lost another lefty starter, Kyle Freeland, to an injury.

Harris has homered in back-to-back games and will try to keep it going when the Braves host Colorado in the second contest of their three-game series on Saturday. Atlanta won the opener 12-4, with Harris hitting a game-tying three-run homer to fuel the comeback.

The Atlanta Braves will have to wait a bit to see if they can handle the Rockies as expected on Saturday as we are in a rain delay.
