Braves LHP Sean Newcomb (3-1, 2.88 ERA, 1.205 WHIP) vs. Marlins RHP Jose Ureña (0-5, 4.37 ERA, 1.279 WHIP): For the ninth time this season, Ureña will take the mound searching for his first win of the season. The Marlins right-hander and Opening Day starter has pitched better in his past three starts, but Miami remains 0-8 when he starts a game. Ureña has received an average of 2.25 runs of support this season. In the last three starts, Ureña owns a 2.33 ERA and a 17-to-2 strikeout-to-walk ratio. Ureña was great last season in five starts against Atlanta, with a 2.76 ERA and 1.125 WHIP in 29 1⁄3 innings. … Newcomb, meanwhile, is coming off the best two-game stretch of his major-league career. He hasn’t allowed a run this month and is riding a 14-inning scoreless streak. Across his last two starts against the Mets and Rays, Newcomb has thrown 13 scoreless innings, allowing just four hits while striking out 14. J.T. Realmuto, Justin Bour and Brian Anderson are the only Marlins hitters that have faced Newcomb, going a combined 4 for 10 with two walks and a home run.
