Red Sox Aim to End Losing Streak Against Braves Tonight

BOSTON — The Boston Red Sox will host the Atlanta Braves tonight at Fenway Park, aiming to snap a four-game losing streak in the second game of their weekend series. The matchup is set for 7:15 p.m. ET and will be broadcast on FOX.

The Red Sox, currently sitting at 22-24, are struggling after dropping their last four games. Lucas Giolito will take the mound for Boston, seeking to replicate his previous success against the Braves. Giolito was the starter during the Red Sox’s last victory on Sunday and boasts a 1-1 record with a 5.51 ERA this season.

Opposing Giolito will be Atlanta’s Grant Holmes, who is set to make his first career start against the Red Sox. Holmes, with a record of 2-3 and a 4.14 ERA, has struggled recently, failing to secure a win in his last four outings. In his most recent appearance, he pitched 6 1/3 innings and allowed only one run against the Nationals but did not receive a decision.

In the Braves’ lineup, Ozzie Albies, who has a 1-for-5 history against Giolito, hopes to contribute to Atlanta’s recent success. The Braves, at 23-22, are looking to build on their Friday night victory that lifted them above .500 for the first time this season.

Boston’s Carlos Narváez is notable, hitting .323 over his last 19 games and leading MLB catchers with seven defensive runs saved. However, fellow Red Sox player Rafael Devers has struggled since returning from the injured list, with just four hits in 18 at-bats.

The game tonight is crucial for both teams as the Red Sox try to regain momentum while the Braves aim to continue their winning streak. Both managers are looking to their pitchers to lead the way on the mound in this nationally televised matchup.

As they prepare to face each other at Fenway, both teams are hoping for a significant turnaround in their respective seasons.
