September 9 - The Atlanta Braves seem to be in taking-care-of-business mode with the Pittsburgh Pirates in town.
The Braves (92-48) opened a three-game series against the Pirates with an 8-2 win Friday, flexing their considerable muscle on offense while benefiting from strong pitching.
After that, the Braves reeled off seven straight series wins before dropping two of three games to the Cardinals.
The Braves, however, set the tone for this set by carving up the Pirates ace Mitch Keller on Friday.
Oviedo has faced the Braves once, throwing 1 2/3 scoreless innings in relief on July 4, 2022, while pitching for St. Louis.
