Braves go for series sweep against Rockies at Truist Park

The Atlanta Braves look to complete a three-game sweep of the Colorado Rockies on Sunday at Truist Park. Tyler Mahle takes the mound for Atlanta against Colorado's Mason Adams. The Braves lead the NL East while the Rockies sit last in the NL West.
The pitching matchup presents a contrast in experience and roles. Mahle carries a losing record but a serviceable ERA across his starts, while Adams enters with minimal major-league exposure and a small sample of innings. Atlanta's bullpen depth is stretched thin, with several key arms on the injured list, including Strider and Schwellenbach.
Offensively, Olson anchors the Braves with 37 homers, second in MLB, while Albies adds steady run production from the middle infield. Colorado counters with McCarthy's speed and on-base presence, plus Rumfield's disciplined approach at the plate. The Rockies' overall record reflects their standing at the bottom of the NL West.
A Braves sweep would solidify their NL East lead and build momentum entering September
