Pitching Matchup for the Atlanta Braves and Minnesota Twins on Wednesday, June 28th
As we mentioned earlier, Atlanta's sending Kolby Allard to the mound. Working in AAA Gwinnett after returning from his oblique injury, he's officially thrown to a 2.70 ERA in his six and two-thirds innings, walking two and striking out eight. This will be his first big league start for Atlanta since 2018
Opposing Atlanta is RHP Kenta Maeda. The veteran is 1-4 with a 6.86 ERA across five starts. Dealing with injuries, he's pitched only twenty-one innings this season, with twenty-two strikeouts to five walks. The Braves roster don't have a ton of at-bats or success against Maeda, with one notable exception: Matt Olson is 3-4 with two homeruns and three RBIs.
