UP NEXT:
Braves: RHP Mike Foltynewicz (5-4, 2.14) goes for his first win in a month. After tossing a 4-0 shutout against the Washington Nationals on June 1, he went 0-1 in his final three starts of the month. He failed to get past the fifth in any his final three June outings.
Cardinals: RHP John Gant (2-2, 3.48) is coming off his best start of the season, giving up one hit over seven innings as St. Louis beat the Cleveland Indians 4-0 on Monday. This is his first appearance against his former club since a 2016 trade that saw the Cardinals send starting pitcher Jaime Garcia to the Braves in exchange for three minor leaguers, including Gant.
TRAINING ROOM:
Braves: RHP Arodys Vizcaino (shoulder inflammation) is expected to come off the 10-day DL on Monday. The Braves closer threw a side session Saturday and is on target for his return to the team. ... C Tyler Flowers, who left Friday's game with a right hamstring cramp after flying out to end the sixth inning, didn't start Saturday. The Braves said it was part of the regular rotation between Flowers and C Kurt Suzuki. The two have alternated starts for the past 16 games.
Cardinals: RHP Luke Gregerson (right shoulder impingement) is scheduled to begin a rehab stint at Triple A Memphis on Sunday. He has yet to appear with the minor league club since going on the 10-day DL on May 16.
IT'S JULY, FOLKS.....!!!

One of our not so fond memories from the past.....but....we're halfway there, in first place, and our youngsters keep finding ways to win.........what a fun season this has been!!!!
2003 The Marlins set a franchise mark for runs scored and tie a team record with 25 hits, with Miguel Cabrera, Ivan Rodriguez, and Luis Castillo collecting four each. The celebration of the 20-1 victory over the Braves is tempered when a photographer is injured and is airlifted to a hospital as a result of being hit by Darren Bragg's bat, which slips from the outfielder's hand and flies into the stands.
And from around MLB (and a college too!) on this date....
1859 In the first college baseball game ever played, Amherst defeats their archrival, Williams College, 73-32 (66-32 by some reports). The game is played near the corner of North Street and Maplewood Avenue in Pittsfield, Massachusetts.
1914 Henry Kingman becomes the first person born in China to play in a major league game when he pinch-hits in the Yankeess' 7-4 loss to the Senators at Griffith Stadium. The 22 year-old first baseman, who was born in Tientsin to missionary parents, will appear in a total of four games, playing the field in only one contest.
1943 Although the All-American Girls Professional Baseball League will not have an official All-Star Game until 1946, two teams, one composed of South Bend Blue Sox and Rockford Peaches players and the other made up of players from the Kenosha Comets and Racine Belles, put on an exhibition game under the lights at Wrigley Field. The AAGPBL contest is the first night game ever played in the historic Chicago ballpark.
1943 The Sporting News begins using a tabloid format as a means of saving newsprint. "The Bible of Baseball", which was established in 1886, became the dominant voice and major source of information for serious fans of the national pastime.
1982 Considered a questionable decision at the time because of his height, Cal Ripken is moved from third base to shortstop by Oriole manager Earl Weaver. The 6'4" future Hall of Famer takes over the job from veteran infielder Mark Belanger, an eight-time Gold Glover at the position......as we know, it seems the decision worked out OK.

Camargo has a 6 game hitting streak and is 16 for his last 43, with 4 doubles and a HR, and 12 RBI's during that period......but he sits today so Culberson can play.....while Dansby is 10 for his last 46, with one double, one triple and 6 RBI's.
Makes perfect sense.

Apparently Folty never got the memo that it's "no walks" week for Atlanta.

Who is that bearded man out there? Can’t be Folty. Got out of the first on only 15 pitches.
