The Atlanta Braves will try to snap a three-game losing streak Thursday night when they begin a four-game series at Coors Field against the Colorado Rockies. The Braves suffered a three-game sweep at the hands of the Los Angeles Dodgers to begin their current road trip.
Ozzie Albies worked out on the field in advance of Thursday’s game but remains out of the lineup for the opener. Eddie Rosario will move into the leadoff spot Thursday. Jorge Soler is back in the lineup after getting the day off Wednesday. Adam Duvall gets another start in center and will be hitting sixth. Stephen Vogt will be behind the plate and hitting seventh.
