Braves in line for sweep of lifeless Marlins

Right-hander Reynaldo Lopez and the Braves look to record a sweep of a three-game series against the visiting Miami Marlins in the finale Wednesday. Atlanta posted a pair of shutout wins — 3-0 and 5-0 — in the first two games of the series and is 8-1 in its last nine games. Lopez (2-0, 0.50 ERA) will be opposed by Sixto Sanchez (0-1, 6.14), who is making his first start of the season. In his last outing on April 16, Lopez scattered four hits and struck out seven over six scoreless innings in a 6-2 win over the Houston Astros.
