The brave of Atlanta did not look like a competitor 10 days ago, but they ride after winning seven of their last nine games.
Atlanta will take this momentum in Denver against Colorado Rockies on Monday evening. The Braves will send Bryce Elder (0-1, 5.57 ERA) against Ryan Feltner from Colorado (0-1, 3.86) in a right-handed match.
The Braves started the season with a 0-7 file, then climbed to 5-13 before bringing together sequences of four and three victories games to get closer to the final of a three-game road series in the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sunday.
They enter the series against Colorado three games under .500 to 12-15.
Elder should make his fifth start of the season and releases his best out of the year. He had an average of five rounds in his first three departures in 2025 and granted 12 points, but rebounded to abandon a single point in six -rounds in victory against the Cardinals of St. Louis on Wednesday.
He did not obtain the victory – Eli White broke equality with a three -point circuit in the eighth to lead the brave to a victory of 4-1 – but he gave the enclosure of the surveys and kept Atlanta in the match while the bats took place.
“We needed someone to go there for a long time; I was happy to be able to eat sleeves and bite well. I was quite excited about it,” said Elder. “Even if sometimes the offensive is slow, I think it’s going to be good for us. A little adversity is good. See the guys pick up things and have better strikes is fun to look.”
Elder has a 2-0 sheet with an MPM of 3.75 in two career starts against the Rockies. One of these outings occurred in Colorado when he granted four points in six rounds in a 14-4 victory on August 28, 2023.
He faces a team of rocks who lost six in a row and is 4-23, the worst start of the existence of 33 years of the franchise. The Colorado comes out of a home sweep against Cincinnati and did not touch 5 2/3 rounds on Sunday in an 8-1 defeat.
The Colorado treated an injury to his best young player, Ezequiel Tovar, and added the inner field player Alan Trejo to the list of 26 men after having acquired the Texas Rangers on Saturday. Tovar has a hip contusion and is expected in about a week.
Trejo was drafted by the Rockies in 2017 and made his debut in the major league for them in 2021. He played 173 games for the club before being appointed for assignment last summer.
He joined the Los Angeles Dodgers on a minor league contract for the rest of 2024 and signed as free agent with Texas during the offseason. He was playing for triple-round rock.
Trejo, 28, was happy to join the organization.
“I received some phone calls (Saturday) from some of the guys here. It’s so nice,” said Trejo. “You leave a place and you think you will never see these guys again, and then the next thing you know that you receive a phone call that you will come back and these are the first guys to call you. It means a lot.”
He had one of the three single colorado on Sunday, and it’s Feltner’s turn to end the rocky defeats against a team that he has never beaten. Feltner has a 0-3 sheet with an MPM of 11.91 in three career starts against the Braves.
