Deadspin | Padres hope to make another statement on road vs. Braves

The San Diego Padres will try to win a road series against the Atlanta Braves for the fourth straight year when the two clubs complete a four-game series with a doubleheader on Monday. San Diego has won the first two games of the series, prevailing 3-1 on Friday and 9-1 on Sunday. It took three games during a four-game set with host Atlanta in 2023 after going 2-1 vs. the Braves at their place in each of the previous two seasons. Dylan Cease (5-3, 2.45 ERA) can help the Padres secure the series win when he goes up against fellow right-hander Reynaldo Lopez (2-1, 1.34) in the opener of the doubleheader.
