Los Angeles Dojers will try to increase their five-game winning streak and will continue to dominate the brave when they start a 10-game road trip in Atlanta on Friday.
Dozers are coming out of the three-market sweeps of Miami Marlins and are tied with New York Mets for the highest win (21) among the major leagues. Braves Arizona and Colorado went 4–2 on their road trips and won nine of their last 12 matches.
Atlanta’s manager Brian Snightker said, “We are more now, which we are now.” “I think we are 9-3 in our last 12 matches. I will take it at any time.”
This is the second meeting between the teams. Dozers sent three games against Braves in early April at 0-7.
The pitching match for the opener is a pair of right-handed Grant Homes (2–1, 4.50 ERA) and Los Angeles’s Yoshinobu Yamamoto (3–2, 1.06).
Yamamoto has been one of the best pitches in the National League. He played at least five innings in each of his six and did not allow more than three runs. This includes two scoreless appearances, one that ran in seven innings.
In his last beginning against Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday, Yamamoto incurred a loss in a demonstration against Paul Scans. Yamamoto played five innings and allowed three runs (one earned), one-high four walk and five strikeouts on five hits.
Yamamoto said, “As soon as the game moved forward, the second innings, the third innings, I realized that my luggage is getting better.” “I could not grind and get myself out of trouble.”
Manager Dave Roberts said, “Overall, he usually has great command and (Friday) he was not just as a pinpoint.”
Yamamoto did not face the brave during his first series. He started once against Atlanta in 2024 and did not take a decision after throwing four scorers innings.
Holmes has performed six, five of them begin. When he faced Arizona on Saturday, he made his worst start of the season, scoring six runs in 5/3 innings and a career-high three home run. He has allowed three or less runs in three beginnings.
Holmes said, “The biggest outing was not, but we came back and scored some runs on the board and we got W.” “This is really all when you get up here.”
In two career showcase (one beginning) against the doseers, Holmes is 0–1 with 7.20 ERA. The loss came on 31 March when Holmes made the first start of 2025 and conceded four runs in four innings.
Dozers hope that the other basman/outfielder Tommy Adman will return to the lineup for Friday opener. He missed out on a sprain right ankle in Wednesday’s game.
Atlanta continues to tamper with her roster. The club brought back former-bree Edie Rosario on Monday and was in a lineup on Wednesday, going 0-for-3, but was making a pair of a good sliding catch.
Rosario began the season with Dozers and was nominated for assignments on 20 April. They will be mainly used as a pinch of left -arm pinch.
The MVP of 2021 NCLS said, “It is good to come back with teammates, coaches and people, I am familiar.” “We have very good moments here.”
