Marcell Ozuna will try to continue his offensive resurgence on Saturday when the Atlanta Braves host the visiting Seattle Mariners in the second contest of their three-game series.
Ozuna caught the ire of the Atlanta fans with his slow start; he was hitting .073 on April 24. But he's back in their good graces after going 2-for-4 with three RBIs to help the Braves record a 6-2 win in the series opener on Friday.
"He's had some good at-bats and he's making good decisions," Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said. "You have to weather those storms. I like him up there right now." Gilbert will be making his ninth start of the season and is seeking his first win since April 12. In his most recent start on Sunday at Detroit, he pitched 5 2/3 innings and allowed three runs on six hits, one walk and four strikeouts. He has not allowed a homer in his past three starts."I didn't feel like I had bad stuff. It was just a couple pitches over the middle of the plate that they took advantage of but had to try to fight through it," Gilbert said.
Ronald Acuna Jr. continues to swing a hot bat for the Braves. He doubled to lead off the game on Friday and came around to score. He leads the majors with seven first-inning doubles, halfway to the team record of 14 held by Freddie Freeman and Marcus Giles .
