Marlins, Braves hope to play after postponement

Apr 15, 2007 - 3:45 PM Florida (6-4) at Atlanta (7-3) 1:05 pm EDT

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- The Florida Marlins go after rare back-to-back wins at Turner Field on Sunday after Saturday's scheduled game against the Atlanta Braves was postponed due to rain.

The Marlins, who beat the Braves, 11-4 on Friday, have not won two consecutive games in a series here since September 2002. Florida is just 7-22 at Turner Field since 2004.

Scott Olsen (2-0, 4.35 ERA) will get the start for the Marlins. The lefthander has not allowed a home run this season, but has nine walks over 10 1/3 innings. Olsen started two games at Turner Field last season, going 1-1 with a 6.75 ERA.

Atlanta will start Kyle Davies (0-0, 2.70). In his season debut last Sunday, Davies allowed back-to-back homers to the Mets in the second inning, but nothing else. Davies pitched 6 2/3 innings and struck out eight but did not get a decision in Atlanta's 3-2 victory.

Chipper Jones, who had a home run in Friday's game, is batting .294 with 28 homers and 116 RBI in 168 career games against Florida.

Florida's Miguel Cabrera, who turns 24 years old on Wednesday, is tied with former Marlin Derrek Lee for third place on the team's all-time RBI list with 417. Mike Lowell tops the list with 578.
