The win streak lives to see another day.

Atlanta kept the win streak alive with their 7th straight victory last night, this one a 2-0 win over the San Diego Padres. The Braves now try to secure their 3rd straight series win with a late night matchup tonight. Here's how the Braves will line up for the contest: 

Atlanta's bottom four in the lineup stay the same as last night, as Vaughn Grissom bats sixth and LF Kevin Pillar is seventh. Marcell Ozuna (who is desperately trying to get the "hitting" part of designated hitter down before the Braves do the "designated" part) looks to make it a two-game hit streak batting eighth and the centerfielder spot swaps from Sam Hilliard to Eli White, batting ninth. 

Starting for the Braves is Spencer Strider. Last year's NL Rookie of the Year runner-up is looking to avenge his last outing against the Padres, the home opener on April 6th, where he took 101 pitches to get through only five innings, with four hits and three runs, with three walks and nine strikeouts. He was tagged by Matt Carpenter for a three-run home run in the 4th inning, and only a walkoff from Orlando Arcia got Atlanta a win (the only one they would log of the series). 

On the season, Strider is 1-0 with a 3.38 ERA in sixteen innings, with eight walks to twenty-seven strikeouts and only one home run allowed.

Opposing Strider is Blake Snell. He got rocked by Atlanta in that same game as Strider, giving up six hits and four runs in only 3.2 innings, with four walks and only two strikeouts. On the season, he's 0-1 in three starts with only 8.2 innings pitched and nine walks to seven strikeouts. 

Tonight's game is a nightcap for Braves fans, with first pitch scheduled for 9:40 ET. The game broadcast, with Voice of the Braves Brandon Gaudin, is available inside Braves Country on Bally Sports South, and is available on MLB.TV outside of the broadcast area. The radio call, with Ben Ingram, is available locally on 680 AM/93.7 FM The Fan or outside the Atlanta market on the Atlanta Braves Radio Network or MLB.com.
