The Atlanta Braves will send right-hander Grant Holmes to the mound on Sunday afternoon in an effort to sweep their three-game series with the visiting Colorado Rockies.

With their 4-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Saturday, the Colorado Rockies surpassed the 1932 Boston Red Sox, who were 14-56, for the worst 70-game mark since 1901.

The Atlanta Braves will not have left-hander Chris Sale make his next scheduled start as planned, instead moving him back in the rotation.

The Atlanta Braves started the weekend series on a high note after Friday night’s 12-4 defeat over the Colorado Rockies. Bryce Elder got the ball to start the game; he threw 3.1 mediocre innings and allowed each of Colorado’s runs. The Atlanta offense, however, finally came to life and put together a few crooked number innings.

If the Braves are going to continue getting their season turned around, they will have to take care of business against a rough-looking Rockies team.

Former Atlanta Braves shortstop Orlando Arcia was a hero for the Colorado Rockies Thursday evening. Down 7-6 in the bottom of the ninth with two outs and the bases loaded, Arcia hit a two-run single to win it against the San Francisco Giants.

The Atlanta Braves open a three-game series against the Colorado Rockies on Friday, marking the fifth of 15 regular season games broadcast on Gray Media in 2025.
