The Miami Marlins aren’t going to the playoffs, but they haven’t given up on the season.

The Marlins have won five of their last six games and can capture their second straight series win on Wednesday night when they face the Colorado Rockies in Denver.

Left-hander Ryan Weathers (2-1, 2.73 ERA) will start for the Marlins and will oppose rookie right-hander McCade Brown (0-4, 9.88).

Brown, who made his major league debut Aug. 24, has never faced Miami while Weathers is familiar with the Rockies, who have lost nine of their past 10 games.

In four starts — and five appearances — vs. Colorado in his career, Weathers owns an 0-1 record and a 8.44 ERA, and all but one of those games has been in Denver.

The Marlins (71-80) won the opener of the three-game series on Tuesday night, 6-5, their first win of the season against the Rockies (41-110). Colorado swept a three-game series in Florida in early June, but since then Miami is 48-43.

The Marlins got some key players back for the series in Denver, including Connor Norby, who has spent much of the second half of the season on the injured list. He missed nearly two months with a left wrist injury, returned for a week, and then landed on the IL for a quad injury before being activated Monday, and he is excited to finish strong in the final two weeks.

“I feel like I can contribute,” Norby said Tuesday before starting at third base against the Rockies. “The goal is obviously to win as many games from now — that’s always the goal. Help teams win. Finish strong, take the offseason [to] hopefully put this year behind me. We all continue to grow as individuals and as a team. That’s the goal.”

Norby had a single in his return to the lineup and caught Hunter Goodman’s line drive with the tying run on third to end the game.

The Rockies, playing their last homestand of the season, need only one victory in their final 11 games to pass the win total of the 2024 Chicago White Sox, who set the record for the most losses in a season (121) in the modern era.

Two more wins would enable Colorado to avoid tying the 1962 expansion New York Mets’ 120 losses.

A win on Wednesday also would be the first for Brown, who has struggled in the first four starts of his career. His last outing, a 2-0 loss Thursday at San Diego, was the longest to date, but he was done after 4 1/3 innings and 81 pitches.

He is learning the ropes at this level and working on thrown strikes early in at-bats.

“My emphasis the rest of this year is really honing in on the command and to start getting ahead in counts, that sort of thing,” Brown said recently. “The experience thing is huge. I’m just trying to take it day by day and stay where my feet are and not think too far ahead or get too stuck on how my last outings have been.

“I’m trying every day to get a little bit better and develop to where we can do something special here.”

The playoff-bound Milwaukee Brewers are hoping Brandon Woodruff will benefit from a few extra days of rest when he faces the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Wednesday.

Woodruff (6-2, 3.32 ERA), who has pitched well since coming off the injured list in July, will be opposed by fellow right-hander Jose Soriano (10-10, 4.13).

The Brewers won the series opener 9-2 on Tuesday night behind a dominant pitching performance by Freddy Peralta, who allowed one run on two hits while striking out 10 for his National League-best 17th victory. Christian Yelich paced the offense with a two-run homer.

Milwaukee (92-59) maintained its five-game lead in the NL Central over the Chicago Cubs, who posted a 4-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates on Tuesday.

The Brewers’ magic number to clinch the division title is seven games. They hold a 1 1/2-game lead over the Philadelphia Phillies for the top record in the NL.

Woodruff, who missed all of last season recovering from right shoulder surgery, originally was slated to start Saturday.

“The guy has come back from a major surgery,” Brewers manager Pat Murphy said when the move was announced. “Just want to make sure that health is important.”

Woodruff was 2-0 with a 2.01 ERA in four starts in July after coming off the IL. He was 3-2 with a 4.88 ERA in six starts in August, going 4 1/3 innings or fewer in his two losses and one no-decision.

In his most recent start on Sept. 6, Woodruff allowed just two hits over six scoreless innings in a 4-1 victory over the Pirates, striking out eight and walking none.

He has faced the Angels once, allowing four runs on as many hits in six innings of a 4-2 loss in 2019.

Yelich is just one homer and one RBI away from his first 30/100 season since 2018, when he won the National League MVP award. It would be his first 30-homer season since hitting 44 in 2019. Yelich is hitting .299 with seven homers and 24 RBIs over his last 28 games.

The Angels (69-82) lost their fifth straight game after managing just three hits and striking out 14 times against Peralta and three relievers.

“We’ve got to wash this one, come back tomorrow. We’ve got a tough one tomorrow against (Woodruff),” Angels manager Ray Montgomery said. “It’s not going to get any easier. You know what they’re fighting for. They want that No. 1 seed.”

Soriano has been more effective on the road, going 8-2 with a 2.66 ERA in 15 starts.

He is 0-1 with a 15.63 ERA in two starts this month, being tagged for 12 runs (11 earned) on 10 hits in 6 1/3 innings, with eight walks and eight strikeouts.

Angels slugger Mike Trout remains one homer shy of 400 for his career. Trout was 0-for-3 in the opener with one walk and a fly out to the warning track in center field.

Prior to Tuesday’s game, the Angels placed shortstop Zach Neto on the 10-day injured list with a left hand strain, ending his season. Neto hit .257 with 26 homers and 62 RBIs in 128 games.

The New York Yankees still have time to decide their playoff pitching picture.

Not a lot of time. Eleven games, to be specific.

New York (84-67) will try to learn more when it goes up against the Minnesota Twins (66-85) on Wednesday evening in Minneapolis.

Yankees right-hander Luis Gil (4-1, 2.83 ERA) will look to improve his case for a key spot in the playoff rotation when he makes his ninth start. He missed most of the season because of injury, but since his return Aug. 3 he has allowed two runs or fewer in seven of his first eight starts.

The 27-year-old Gil has earned victories in back-to-back starts against the Toronto Blue Jays and Boston Red Sox. He has allowed one earned run in 12 innings during that span.

Against the Twins, Gil is 1-0 with a 3.75 ERA in two career starts.

Yankees manager Aaron Boone knows that he will have southpaws Max Fried and Carlos Rodon available for a postseason run. Veteran right-hander Gerrit Cole is on the 60-day injured list along with fellow starter Clarke Schmidt, which leaves Gil, Will Warren and Cam Schlittler to compete for the third and fourth starter roles in the playoffs.

“We’ll do what we think is best,” Boone said. “I expect hopefully (all of those guys) to play a huge role for us down the stretch in what we hope is an October run.”

The Twins will try to spoil the Yankees’ postseason hypotheticals, if only for a day.

Minnesota is aiming for a series win after the teams split the first two contests of the three-game series. The Twins won the opener 7-0 Monday and the Yankees held on for a 10-9 win Tuesday.

Right-hander Taj Bradley (6-7, 4.88) will make his 26th start of the season and his fifth with Minnesota. He is in search of his first victory since joining his new team at the trade deadline.

The 24-year-old Bradley has made four career starts against the Yankees. He is 2-2 with a 3.42 ERA in those outings, and he has struck out 16 batters in 23 2/3 innings.

The series finale carries implications for Twins players, even if it involves next season instead of the postseason. One player who is looking for another quality performance is outfielder James Outman, whom Minnesota acquired from the Los Angeles Dodgers before the trade deadline.

Outman hammered a 443-foot, two-run homer Tuesday night.

“I’ve always felt like I was a good player,” Outman said. “But just getting consistent at-bats and finding a routine that I believe in and just taking it into the games has been huge.”

For the Yankees, Anthony Volpe will look to build upon Tuesday’s performance in which he finished 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI.

“Good to see him get some immediate results with a double the other way, a walk, base hit,” Boone said. “That was good. … It was good to see him jump right back in and contribute.”

Much has been made about the Toronto Blue Jays’ top-rated offense, but Braydon Fisher and his work late in games should get some credit for the success of the American League East-leading club.

Off to a 2-0 start in a four-game series vs. Tampa Bay, the Blue Jays will visit the Rays again on Wednesday night.

Toronto (89-62) held off a late rally by the fading Rays on Tuesday, winning 6-5 as closer Jeff Hoffman earned his 31st save for the Jays’ sixth straight win.

On Monday night in a showcase of outstanding pitching performances by Tampa Bay’s Joe Boyle and Toronto’s Trey Yesavage, who was dazzling in his major league debut, Fisher — a rookie reliever — delivered at the series opener’s peak moment. With a one-run lead in the 11th inning and runners at the corners and no outs, he retired Brandon Lowe, Junior Caminero and Josh Lowe on swinging strikeouts to earn the 2-1 win.

In 47 outings this season (one start), Fisher is 7-0 with a 2.78 ERA over 45 1/3 innings, with 60 strikeouts and an 0.99 WHIP. Opponents have hit .180 against him.

“He’s done that all year,” Blue Jays manager John Schneider said of Fisher’s win on Monday. “But for that right there in that situation, not getting flustered with the infield hit to Yandy (Diaz), and then three strikeouts, man, with the fastest runner in the league (Chandler Simpson) at third. There was a lot going on.

“He has been so damn good. Extra innings is tough, and him and (catcher Tyler Heineman) made pitch after pitch.”

On Wednesday, right-hander Kevin Gausman (10-10, 3.44 ERA) will face left-hander Ian Seymour (3-2, 3.16).

For Gausman, it will be his 30th start for the fifth consecutive season, including all four with the Blue Jays.

In his most recent start last Thursday, he fired his second career shutout by limiting the Houston Astros to two hits while striking out nine in a 6-0 game. Over 24 appearances (22 starts) against the Rays, he is 8-9 with a 4.02 ERA.

While Tampa Bay (73-78) has stumbled mightily by going 2-9 in the past 11 games, manager Kevin Cash said he liked what he saw from Boyle, who had been optioned to Triple-A Durham twice this season, most recently on Aug. 22.

Recalled on Monday, he traveled to Florida on sudden notice and fired six shutout innings of three-hit ball. His command was most impressive, as the hard-throwing righty struck out five and didn’t walk a batter.

“You’re encouraged by it,” Cash said. “You try to make decisions to put all these guys in a good spot and to go have success. We felt it was best for him to go down (to Durham) and make the most of it.

“Ultimately, it comes down to the player. Do they want to go down and make the most of their opportunity or do they want to go down there and pout? Joe Boyle did not do that. He put the work in.”

Like Boyle, Seymour will try to make a strong impression down the stretch in his 17th career appearance (fourth start). He made his major league debut on June 9.

He has lost his past two starts — to the Chicago White Sox and Cleveland Guardians — but wasn’t helped by his defense or offense. In the two starts combined, he allowed eight runs (three earned) in 9 1/3 innings in 5-1 and 7-1 losses, respectively.

Seymour has yet to face the Blue Jays.

Cal Raleigh’s power surge officially has reached historic levels for the Seattle Mariners.

Following a record-setting, two-homer series opener, Raleigh could become the club’s single-season leader with another long ball when the visiting Mariners try for an 11th straight victory Wednesday against the Kansas City Royals.

Raleigh’s career season hit new heights on Tuesday as Seattle (83-68) recorded a 12-5 rout of Kansas City (75-76).

With his 55th homer in the third inning off right-hander Michael Wacha, Raleigh became the majors’ single-season leader for a switch hitter, breaking Mickey Mantle’s 1961 mark.

An inning later, Raleigh turned around to the right side of the plate and smashed the ball over the center-field wall to match Ken Griffey Jr.’s team record of 56.

Raleigh, however, seems only concerned about his team’s success.

Atop the American League West, Seattle has outscored its opponents 78-28 during a 10-game winning streak that’s tied for the third-longest in team history.

“Trying to focus on the games, playing good baseball and keep rolling,” Raleigh told ROOT Sports. “We’re just not satisfied; we’re going to keep going until the bell rings.”

Raleigh is hitless in two at-bats against left-hander Cole Ragans (2-3, 5.18 ERA), who is back from a left rotator strain that’s kept him off a major-league mound since June 5.

Although Ragans has yielded 13 runs in 13 innings of his last three big-league starts, and the Royals’ playoff hopes essentially have faded with seven losses in the last nine games, it’s still important for the organization to have him back in action.

“Cole’s missed a ton of time, we want him to be out there to get some innings and the confidence to be able to go back into the offseason as a normal starter,” Kansas City manager Matt Quatraro said.

Ragans’ previous start against Seattle came at home on June 9, 2024, when he yielded only a lead-off homer to J.P. Crawford and two other hits while striking out nine in six innings. He has a 1.29 ERA in two career appearances (one start) versus the Mariners.

Seattle, meanwhile, has won four straight games made by scheduled starter Bryce Miller (4-5, 5.59 ERA).

Miller looks for a more efficient outing after he allowed four runs and six hits — including two solo homers — while striking out a career-high 11 batters without a walk in 5 2/3 innings against the Los Angeles Angels on Thursday.

The right-hander also hopes to improve his fortunes against the Royals, who have tagged him for 10 runs and 12 hits in nine innings of two starts. Kansas City’s Bobby Witt Jr. and Adam Frazier are a combined 5-for-11 versus Miller.

He could get his first look at promising Royals and local product Carter Jensen, who hit his first two major-league homers Tuesday. Jensen has at least one hit in three straight contests after going 1-for-9 in his first six career games since debuting Sept. 2.

Seattle’s Dominic Canzone has eight hits with seven RBIs in the last two games after he went 5-for-5 with three homers Tuesday.

Consecutive wins have not cured all that’s ailed the New York Mets for the last three months.

But the victories have nudged the Mets a couple of steps closer to the last National League wild-card berth — and a little further away from the possibility of suffering one of the greatest collapses of all time.

The Mets will look to clinch a series win Wednesday night, when they host the San Diego Padres in the middle game of a three-game set between the teams occupying the final two NL wild-card spots.

Left-hander David Peterson (9-5, 3.77 ERA) is slated to start for the Mets against right-hander Nick Pivetta (13-5, 2.73 ERA).

Brett Baty, Francisco Lindor, Pete Alonso and Cedric Mullins all hit homers Tuesday night for the Mets, who cruised past the Padres 8-3.

With the win, the Mets (78-73) maintained their 1 1/2-game lead over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the race for the third NL wild card. The Padres (82-69), holding the second position, are four games ahead of the Mets.

The Mets, who ended an eight-game losing streak by defeating the Texas Rangers 5-2 in 10 innings on Sunday, have won back-to-back games for the first time since they earned consecutive victories over the Detroit Tigers on Sept. 1-2.

New York went 2-9 while being outscored 59-32 over the subsequent 11 games, a span in which its lead in the wild-card race decreased to a half-game. The skid continued a lengthy downturn for the Mets, who had the best record in baseball at 45-24 through June 12 but are just 33-49 since.

“Obviously, when things are kind of rolling in the opposite direction of what you want, you definitely feel that, and it seems a little harder to stop the momentum the further it goes,” said Mets starter Clay Holmes, who tossed the first four innings Tuesday before Sean Manaea threw the final five frames. “It’s nice to kind of just get things rolling back in a way that we want to and that we know we’re capable of. But at the same time, we know it’s still a lot of work to be done.”

While the path to a playoff berth is still relatively clear for the Padres, they are running out of time to gain the top wild-card spot and home-field advantage in that round of the postseason.

San Diego slipped five games behind the first wild card, the Chicago Cubs, by virtue of the Cubs’ 4-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates. The Padres are two games behind the first-place Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL West.

Both the Padres and Dodgers are 6-8 this month.

An abbreviated performance Tuesday by Michael King — who gave up all eight runs in three-plus innings — increases the need for another solid outing Wednesday from Pivetta, who is winless in two starts this month despite a 1.38 ERA.

Pivetta didn’t factor into the decision in his most recent start last Wednesday, when he tossed seven scoreless innings in San Diego’s 2-1 loss to the Cincinnati Reds.

“We know Nick’s going to meet the challenge,” Padres manager Mike Shildt said following that defeat. “He met it tonight; clearly we expect and have a lot of confidence in him being able to do it in the future.”

Peterson got a no-decision in his most recent start last Thursday, when he gave up three runs over five innings as the Mets fell to the Philadelphia Phillies 6-4.

Peterson is 1-2 with a 3.26 ERA in four career games (three starts) against the Padres. Pivetta is 4-2 with a 5.23 ERA in 10 games (eight starts) against the Mets.

The Athletics are just one loss away from being eliminated from playoff contention, but they could be one heck of a spoiler down the stretch.

Now winners of five games in a row and an American League-best 29 games since July 24, the A’s (71-80) will look to secure a series win when they visit the Boston Red Sox (82-69) for the middle contest of a three-game set on Wednesday night.

“These games are really important (in Boston’s playoff chase), and the support they’re going to get for these three games, in some way, will represent that type of (playoff) atmosphere,” Athletics manager Mark Kotsay said. “For our young guys, this is a good challenge for them, to be able to go into a pretty electric environment.”

It took until the sixth inning for Tyler Soderstrom and Brett Harris to drive in the tying and winning runs on Tuesday, and Mitch Spence and Hogan Harris did the rest over five shutout relief innings as the A’s won 2-1. Jeffrey Springs was the starter, giving up one run (none earned) over four innings.

The result was the team’s third straight road-series-opening win and its second one-run victory over the Red Sox in a seven-day stretch.

Kotsay said he believes fans should get used to watching Nick Kurtz and Jacob Wilson facing the likes of Boston’s Roman Anthony (though currently injured) and pitchers Connelly Early and Payton Tolle.

“(The Red Sox) have a young, impressive team that’s going to be good for a while,” Kotsay said. “I think our club is very similar. … It should be fun watching these two teams build over the next few years.”

Athletics rookie Mason Barnett (1-1, 8.53 ERA) is set for his fourth career start and will face the Red Sox for the second time. He had not pitched in Triple-A before this season.

The 24-year-old was charged with three runs on seven hits in 3 2/3 innings last Wednesday in his team’s 5-4 win over the Red Sox. This outing came on the heels of striking out eight Los Angeles Angels in five innings to earn his first career win.

The Red Sox on Tuesday managed just one run on eight hits — including three from Trevor Story, who also became just the fourth 30-for-30 base stealer in MLB’s expansion era (since 1961). Boston was 0-for-7 with runners in scoring position.

A bases-loaded, no-out opportunity went to waste, while Nick Sogard was picked off first base as a potential tying run in the eighth inning.

“We just got to make sure we slow it down, (don’t get) caught up on the score and just do your part,” Red Sox manager Alex Cora said. “I think, at the end of the day, the job is to get on base. We’ve been doing a better job the last three games … but we have to cash in.”

The return of outfielder Wilyer Abreu (calf strain) from the injured list is needed, and while not expected on Wednesday, it does appear imminent.

“Wily hit (Monday). He was a little bit sore but not tight. I think it’s more about the workload on Sunday,” Cora said. “He walked in today and said he felt better. So we’ll see what’s on the table and see where we’re at.”

Boston’s Lucas Giolito (10-4, 3.31 ERA) will pitch Wednesday looking to shake off back-to-back losses for the first time this season. The right-hander took a tough-luck defeat Friday against the New York Yankees, allowing just two runs (one earned) and striking out six over the first 5 2/3 innings. The Red Sox lost 4-1.

“It wasn’t good enough. The other guy’s (Luis Gil) throwing zero after zero, I gotta match that for us to have a chance to win,” Giolito said.

Giolito is 1-1 with a 4.26 ERA in three career starts against the Athletics but has not faced them since 2022.

Jack Flaherty made five postseason appearances during the Los Angeles Dodgers’ run to the World Series title last season.

He’s looking forward to starting pressure-packed games for the American League Central-leading Detroit Tigers in the coming weeks.

Flaherty will have that opportunity in the middle game of a three-game home series against second-place Cleveland on Wednesday night. The Guardians (79-71) won the series opener on Tuesday, 7-5 in 10 innings, to pull within 5 1/2 games of the first-place Tigers (85-66).

That sounds like a tough hurdle for Cleveland with 12 games to go, but consider this: Including Wednesday, the teams have five games remaining between them, and just two weeks ago, too, the Guardians were 10 1/2 games back.

Cleveland has won 10 of its past 11 games, while Detroit is 5-6 in the same span. The Guardians are only 2 1/2 games out of the third and final wild-card spot in the AL.

Flaherty (8-13, 4.69 ERA), who started last season with the Tigers before a trade to Los Angeles, re-signed with Detroit as a free agent during the offseason to be its No. 2 starter behind ace Tarik Skubal. Flaherty has struggled to find consistency, but he delivered five scoreless innings in an 11-1 victory over the New York Yankees last Wednesday.

He’s aiming to finish the season strong and help the Tigers go on a long postseason journey.

“Just a lot of emotion just from the way the year has gone,” Flaherty said after the win over the Yankees. “I’m going to try to carry some of that emotion into the days in between and into my next start day.”

Flaherty labored through 99 pitches but only allowed two hits and a walk while recording seven strikeouts.

“Just keep fighting,” Flaherty said. “Overall, this hasn’t been the year I wanted for myself, for this team or for the city. All I can do at this point is keep fighting, keep competing and keep giving us as good a chance as I can every time I take the mound. I’m just going to keep giving everything I have every day going forward.”

Flaherty is 2-3 with a 2.25 ERA in eight career outings against the Guardians.

The Guardians will start their own right-hander, Gavin Williams (10-5, 3.16 ERA). He has three consecutive quality starts, spanning 20 innings. Williams has allowed just four earned runs during that stretch but three homers.

In his most recent outing on Thursday, he limited Kansas City to two runs and four hits in six innings but got no decision in a 3-2 win.

“We’ve seen him mature and come to a better understanding of who he is, how and where his stuff plays in the strike zones,” pitching coach Carl Willis said. “He’s gained a tremendous amount of confidence in that.”

Detroit is well aware how stingy Williams can be when he’s on point. He tossed six shutout innings against the Tigers on July 6, holding them to one hit. Williams is 1-2 with a 1.98 ERA in five career outings against Detroit but didn’t figure into the decision in the 7-2, 10-inning loss.

Left-hander Logan Allen was skipped for this series in order to line up Williams and Tanner Bibee (Thursday’s starter) in this divisional showdown.

“It’s the matchup with Detroit, and then obviously moving Gavin to [Wednesday] gets him three starts until the end of the year,” Cleveland manager Stephen Vogt said. “We played with a lot of different things, but with the six-man rotation, they all would have had six days’ rest. This still keeps [Williams and Bibee] on that five-day rest the same turn.”

Looking to complete the first series sweep over their division foe in more than three years, the visiting Atlanta Braves will meet the Washington Nationals in the finale of a four-game set on Wednesday afternoon.

Atlanta (69-83) has followed a four-game losing streak with four straight victories, including two over Washington in a day-night doubleheader on Tuesday.

Nearing mathematical elimination from National League postseason contention, the Braves have been playing for 2026 for the bulk of the second half of the regular season. Nonetheless, a win on Wednesday would match Atlanta’s longest winning streak of the year and clinch its first sweep of Washington since July 8-10, 2022.

The Braves received 15 innings across two games from their starting pitchers on Tuesday. Jose Suarez threw seven strong innings in the opening game of the doubleheader before Chris Sale tossed eight scoreless frames in the nightcap.

Hoping to continue that trend is right-hander Hurston Waldrep (4-1, 2.78 ERA), who will make his ninth appearance and eighth start of the season on Wednesday.

After being called up in August out of necessity for an Atlanta pitching staff that placed all five of its season-opening starters on the injured list, Waldrep was impressive before suffering his worst outing of the year Friday in his most recent appearance.

Waldrep, 23, allowed eight runs on eight hits across 4 2/3 innings in an 11-3 loss to the Houston Astros.

“I think he handled it fine. I don’t think he ever gave in or anything; I just don’t think it was working for him,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said of Waldrep’s rough start. “His splitter was kind of up in the zone, and when that pitch is up in the zone, it’s going to get wacked. His command wasn’t real good, but you’re going to have that sometimes.”

Waldrep has faced Washington once in his career, in his major league debut. He permitted seven runs in 3 2/3 innings in an 8-5 loss on June 9, 2024.

The Nationals (62-90) won seven of eight games to begin September but have since dropped six of eight.

Since interim manager Miguel Cairo took over for the fired Dave Martinez in July, the club is 25-37. A bounce-back win for Washington on Wednesday would at least ensure the team avoids the dreaded 100-loss mark.

“We had a chance to finish, and it didn’t happen,” Cairo said of the Nationals’ 5-0 loss to the Braves in 10 innings on Tuesday night. “They came back and closed the game. It goes like that sometimes, and there’s nothing you can do about it. You just have to come back tomorrow and keep fighting.”

Right-hander Brad Lord (5-8, 4.21 ERA) is slated to make his 46th appearance and 17th start of his rookie season for Washington in the series finale.

After struggling through an August that saw him post a 7.06 ERA in six starts, Lord has gone 1-0 with a 3.09 ERA in September. The 25-year-old allowed three runs in six innings in a no-decision against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday. Washington won 6-5.

He is 0-1 with a 3.60 ERA in three relief outings against Atlanta this season.
