On Friday night, the Boston Red Sox will open up a series with the Atlanta Braves at Truist Park in Georgia.
The Red Sox are coming off a series where they lost two out of three to the Philadelphia Phillies at Fenway Park.
They most recently lost Thursday’s game 3-1.
Caleb Durbin finished the series with one hit and four strikeouts in seven at-bats.
Future Hall Of Famer Red Sox Must Consider

With Durbin struggling, the Red Sox should consider making a trade for Arizona Diamondbacks third basemen Nolan Arenado.
He is in his first season with Arizona, batting .274 with 37 hits, six home runs, 20 RBI’s and 22 runs in 40 games.
In recent years, there had been a lot of rumblings about the Red Sox being a suitor for Arenado.
