Mike Minor gets the start for Atlanta following an outing during which he allowed six runs and struck out five against the Cubs. It will be Minor's first start against the Marlins this season.
Lineups
Donovan Solano gets the start at second base against the lefty Minor, with Jeff Baker giving Garrett Jones a day off at first base. Jeff Mathis gets the start behind the plate, moving Adeiny Hechavarria up to the seven spot.
Notes
-How will Turner perform? Turner will likely have to prove that he belongs in the rotation with a streak of decent outings.
-Can Miami get the offense going? The Marlins scored just one run before adding on in extras, and have been in a bit of an offensive slump of late.
Bold Prediction: Marlins def. Braves 2-1
