The Atlanta Braves are coming off four straight defeats, including an 8-1 setback to the Cardinals on Tuesday. Their pitching staff have failed to deliver lately and rookie right-hander Touki Toussaint (1-1, 4.67 ERA) is no exception. The 22 year old walked four and allowed two hits while giving up three runs in a one-inning relief outing against Washington last Saturday. He has issued with his command in all his four big league outings and walked 13 through 17 1/3 innings of work.
The Cards hand the ball to Jack Flaherty (8-7, 2.86 ERA) who was 4-0 with a 1.13 ERA in five starts last month and he's having a great September as well, boasting a 2.81 ERA in three outings. He limited the LA Dodgers to four hits and a run over six innings while striking out eight last Friday. Flaherty is 4-1 with a 2.14 ERA in eight day starts.
Cardinals are 17-5 in their last 22 road games. Atlanta is playing .500 baseball home at SunTrust Park this season and they're 5-17 in their last 22 home games vs. a team with a winning road record.
8* play on St. Louis Cardinals.
