Atlanta's Bryce Elder and Cleveland's Ben Lively will try to continue the string of good starting pitching throughout the weekend series between division-leading-teams when they take the mound Sunday afternoon in the deciding game of the three-game set in Atlanta.
The Guardians, tops in the American League Central, evened the series at a game apiece with a 4-2 win in 11 innings on Saturday, a contest that began with Cleveland's Tanner Bibee and Atlanta's Charlie Morton throwing seven scoreless innings. The Braves, the No. 1 team in the National League East, won the opener 6-2 on Friday behind the strong effort of starter Chris Sale.
