UP NEXT:
Pirates: RHP Nick Kingham (3-3, 4.63 ERA) takes Ivan Nova's turn in the rotation. Hurdle said Nova, who was not with the team Friday or Saturday, is absent because of a personal matter. Nova did not have a locker reserved in the clubhouse. Kingham will make his eighth start.
Braves: RHP Julio Teheran (9-7, 4.18 ERA) will make his 27th start. He ranks third-best in the NL with a .203 opponents' batting average but has given up the fourth-most homers and walks.
EXPANDED ROSTERS:
Pittsburgh recalled C Jacob Stallings, utility man Jose Osuna and RHP Dovydas Neverauskus from Triple-A Indianapolis. RHP Nick Burdi was returned from a rehab assignment and reinstated from the 60-day disabled list. Utility man Pablo Reyes had his contract selected from Indianapolis.
Atlanta selected the contracts of RHP Kyle Wright and OF Adams and recalled RHP Touki Toussaint, RHP Bryse Wilson and OF Michael Reed from Triple-A Gwinnett. RHP Shane Carle was returned from a rehab assignment and reinstated from the 10-day DL. C Rene Rivera reported after he was acquired this week from the Los Angeles Angels.
TRAINER'S ROOM:
Snitker said RHP Arodys Vizcaino, transferred to the 60-man DL, will make his first rehab appearance Sunday at Gwinnett. Sidelined 52 games this year with right shoulder inflammation, Vizcaino has converted 15 of 17 saves chances and 48 of 60 in his career.
RAKING:
Acuna hit .336 with 11 homers and 21 RBI in August and became the first NL rookie in the last 110 seasons with 39 hits and 11 homers in a calendar month. ... Camargo leads the Braves with 50 RBI since the start of June. ... Marte went 2 for 4 and has hit .400 in hitting safely in eight straight games. ... Of Polanco's 76 RBI, 74 have come as a right fielder, the most Pittsburgh has gotten at that position since Jose Guillen drove in 83 in 1998.

Please don't be a turd in this game Julio, we really need a win! Well see... you just never know with Julio. Every time out is like playing Russian roullette... He might give you 6 scoreless.... He might give up 5 in 3 with 2 HR's... He might give you 5 innings of no hit ball and then give up a grand slam to a .173 hitter Who the hell knows..

LULZ...
Roman Quinn from Phails just made the 1st out at 3rd base against Lester.
After a strikeout, JBats got a single that would have scored him easily had he not been a moron.

Homer Baez. 3-0 douche bags from Chicago. Sooooooooooooo, how do ya really feel about the Chubbies? I know a lot of folks that don't care for the Cubs. Me, I started as a Braves fan in 1957 thanks to my Wisconsin relatives influencing me, but I always had a soft spot for the cubs since my entire household were Cubs fans. Went to a lot of games at Wrigley and dad tried to take me to as many games when the Braves were in town, as he could. To this day, my favorite player has always been Ernie Banks. He was what all baseball players should strive to be. OK, I'm now ready for the deluge of verbal harassment.
