The Atlanta Braves...lost? 

That feels weird to type. 

The Atlanta Braves got out-slugged by the St. Louis Cardinals in a 10-6 loss on Tuesday night, with the Redbirds absolutely teeing off of Braves pitching for twelve hits (four of them homers). But Atlanta's back after it tonight, with a chance to tie up the series behind the dynamic right arm of Spencer Strider. 

Lineup for the Atlanta Braves on Wednesday, September 6th

Here's how the Braves will line up for the contest:

Atlanta's back to their normal defensive configuration for this one, with Orlando Arcia returning to his shortstop position but batting 9th, while Michael Harris II bats 8th behind catcher Sean Murphy.

UPDATE: Atlanta's posted a revised lineup with Harris in his typical #9 spot in the batting order; it appears that the initial graphic was incorrect.
