Now, the Braves will send one of their most reliable pitchers in Mike Foltynewicz, as he goes up against the former Braves Tim Hudson. Hudson will be facing his former team for the first time.
Atlanta Braves
The Braves knew this road trip wasn’t going to be easy.
After avoiding the sweep in Los Angeles with a 3-2 win on Wednesday, they failed to ride that momentum as the offense couldn’t get anything going Thursday.
The team only averages 3.94 runs per contest, but that number drops almost a .5 run on the road as they average just 3.56 runs a game.
They’ll look to avoid losing the first two of the series with Mike Foltynewciz on the hill.

The right hander is coming off his best pitched game of the season as he went 7.2 innings allowing 3 hits and just 1 run in a 2-1 against the Brewers.
This will be just his 2nd road start of the season as he received a no decision in Cincinnati back on 5/12 as he went 6.2 innings allowing 3 runs (2 earned) in a 4-3 loss.
Atlanta looks to change their fortunes against the Giants inside AT&T Park as they’ve now lost 6 of their last 7 there.
San Francisco Giants
The Giants are not just winning games inside AT&T park, they’re doing it while not allowing the opposition to score. In their last 12 home games, they’ve shut their opponent out 8 times, including last night.
The team is clicking on all cylinders as they’ve received some players back to 100% health.
San Francisco will look to Tim Hudson, who pitched with Atlanta for 9 seasons, to continue their home dominance.
Hudson brings in a just a 2-4 record with an above 5 ERA as he’s struggled this season.
In his most recent outing, he went just 3.2 innings allowing 8 runs on 6 hits against the Rockies.
Both of Hudson’s wins in this season have come at home as he’s beaten the Dodgers and Angels inside AT&T Park.
