As the team somehow endures their first losing streak of September, they are blessed to still be in a tied position for the last playoffs spot. Milwaukee has returned Frankie Montas to their rotation, and he's currently on schedule to meet the Mets in the pentultimate game of the year. Atlanta has finally announced that righthander Grant Holmes is taking Reynaldo Lopez's spot in the rotation. Holmes — a longhair/handlebar mustache type who looks like he works with Ryne Stanek at the renaissance festival axethrowing booth — has spent most of the season in the pen with modest success. He isn't currently scheduled to appear against the Mets, but he will have the weight of the world on him against the Reds tomorrow eve. The pitching lineup for the Braves series — Spencer Schwellenbach ®/Chris Sale (L)/Charlie Morton ® — remains unchanged, but the Braves still might try to find a way to replace Morton with Max Fried. If the Mets can get their backs to the wall, they might even do it at the last minute. [th]Day[/th][th]Date[/th][th]Opp.[/th][th]Starter[/th][th]Opp. Starter[/th][th]Score[/th][th]Div.
