Tyler Mahle faces Brewers in Braves' bid to halt sweep

Atlanta starter Tyler Mahle will pitch against Milwaukee tonight as the Braves try to avoid a series sweep.

The Atlanta Braves send Tyler Mahle to the mound in the final game of a three-game series against the Milwaukee Brewers, hoping to stop a potential sweep. Mahle, who posted a 1.45 ERA over his last seven outings, carries a season ERA of 4.53 and a WHIP of 1.31. Milwaukee counters with right-hander Shane Drohan, whose season numbers include a 3.86 ERA and a 1.25 WHIP, though he has allowed 22 earned runs in his previous seven appearances.

Both teams have shown offensive strength, but the pitchers' recent performances add unpredictability. The game is scheduled for 7:10 p.m. Eastern at American Family Field in Milwaukee, with one outlet's broadcast on one outlet and local radio coverage on 680 AM/93.7 FM. A win would give the Braves a chance to reset before returning home, while the Brewers aim to finish the series strongly.

Why it matters

The game determines whether the Braves can avoid a series sweep and maintain momentum in the season.
