Lineup, how to watch Atlanta's series finale against the Cleveland Guardians

Well, it finally happened: Atlanta lost a game.

You can't win all of them, and Atlanta dropped a tough one in extras to Cleveland, 6-5, on Tuesday night. But they're back at it on Wednesday, with a chance to take the series. It'd be Atlanta's tenth straight series win, dating back to their roadtrip against Arizona to open the month of June. Michael Soroka, fresh off winning his first home start in three seasons, is going to do his best to see that it does, taking the mound against Cal Quantrill.

The Atlanta lineup is pretty static, with Sean Murphy rotating in behind the plate the only real change. Given that Atlanta's facing yet another right-hander, Eddie Rosario remains in the lineup, batting 7th and playing left field, while Marcell Ozuna bats ahead of him as the designated hitter.

Pitching Matchup for the Atlanta Braves and Cleveland Guardians on Wednesday, July 5th

Starting for the Braves is Michael Soroka. The righty is back from a three-year absence after multiple Achilles ruptures and surgeries, and is officially 1-1 with a 6.89 ERA in his three starts this year. He got two starts at the end of May, against Oakland and Arizona, before going back to AAA Gwinnett to work on his secondaries. He's looked to be a different pitcher since coming back, picking up the win last Friday against Miami with six hits and three runs over six innings, walking none and striking out seven.

Opposing Atlanta is Cal Quantrill. Still making his way back from a June IL stint for right shoulder inflammation, he's 2-5 with a 6.18 ERA in his twelve starts on the year. He's struck out only thirty-five in those sixty-two and two-thirds innings. His last start was the only one since returning, where he went only three and a third innings against the Cubs. He struck out one, walking two and allowing eight hits and six runs in an eventual 10-1 Chicago win.
