Braves Make Their Premiere To start the series against the Houston Astros, Luis Guillorme will start at shortstop.
The Atlanta Braves will host the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park once more. Yesterday afternoon, the Atlanta Braves mounted a late comeback against Miami, led by Marcell Ozuna’s two-out, two-strike home run in the ninth inning, which gave Atlanta the game and the series.
After taking care of business, the Braves return to Minute Maid Park, the scene of one of their greatest victories: Atlanta’s victory in game six of the 2021 World Series, which resulted in the team’s fourth world title.
Prospect Darius Vines will make his 2024 debut in a spot start against fellow prospect Spencer Arrighetti of the Houston Astros. Monday, April 15th, lineups for the Atlanta Braves and Houston Astros
Atlanta’s lineup for the game is as follows:
RF Ronald Acuña Jr., 2B Ozzie Albies, third baseman Austin Riley, first base Matt Olson DH Marcell Ozuna CF Michael Harris, Jr., Travis d’Arnaud, LF Jarred Kelenic SS Guillorme Luis
Vines made a strong entrance for Atlanta. On August 30, Vines was called up for a spot start away from home in Colorado. In six innings, he kept the Rockies to two runs on four hits, becoming the only visiting pitcher in MLB history to complete that amount of work with that few runs scored at Coors Field. He had five appearances during his major league career, going 1-0 with a 3.98 ERA in two starts.
This is the Houston lineup:
2B Jose Altuve DH Alvarez Yordan, RF Kyle Tucker, third base Bregman, Alex
C Yanier Diaz LF Chaz McCormick Jeremy Peña
1B José Abreu CF Mauricio Dubón.
Since being called up, Arrighetti has had difficulty establishing himself in the majors as Houston’s pitching staff has been severely damaged by rotation injuries. Last week, he started his first major league game against the Royals and only lasted three innings, giving up seven runs on seven hits while walking three and striking out three.
