Baseball is back at Turner Field, as the crack of the bat can be heard and the smell of hot dogs in the air. The Atlanta Braves home opener is set for tonight at Turner Field in Atlanta, Ga. The Braves come into tonight's game with a record of 2-4. The opposing team, the Milwaukee Brewers sport a 4-3 record. The Braves will be shooting for a 3-game win streak, after getting swept by the New York Mets and losing the first game to the Houston Astros, the Braves won the last two at Minute Maid Park. The Braves roll out All-Star Jair Jurrjens (0-1) to the mound as he faces Randy Wolf (0-1). Jurrjens didn't fare too well in his first outing against the New York Mets, giving up 3 runs on seven hits, while only lasting 4.1 inning. Hopefully his fortune will turn around as he will have the crowd in his favor. First pitch is set for 7:35pm est. "This is Braves Country, this is why we Chop."
