Sean Murphy gets the start and Austin Riley bats second against the Giants
Briefly

The Atlanta Braves' offense has struggled recently, averaging only 3.7 runs over their last ten games, with only four instances of scoring more than three runs. Despite these issues, players like Ronald Acuña Jr. (172 wRC+) and Ozzie Albies (146 wRC+) have shown bright spots. They face pitcher Hayden Birdsong, whom they have limited experience against, but their recent matchups suggest a potential advantage. Notably, Sean Murphy's strong performance against Birdsong last season earns him a starting role in the lineup as they aim to improve their scoring ahead of the game against the struggling Giants.
