Braves aim to keep slim playoff hopes alive

Sep 18, 2007 - 1:58 PM Florida (65-85) at Atlanta (77-73) 7:35 pm EDT

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- With their playoff lives hanging by a thread, the Atlanta Braves look to stay alive as they continue their series with the Florida Marlins on Tuesday.

With 12 games remaining, Atlanta is 6 1/2 games behind the NL East-leading New York Mets (83-66) and 5 1/2 behind San Diego (82-67) for the wild card.

To stay in the playoff race, the Braves will turn to rookie starter Jo-Jo Reyes (0-2, 7.75 ERA), who will be looking for his first win in eight career starts.

Reyes took the loss on August 26 when he allowed four runs - two earned - in six innings of a 4-1 loss at St. Louis. His last appearance came in a relief stint exactly two weeks ago, when he permitted a run over 3 1/3 innings.

Florida counters with rookie in Chris Seddon (0-0, 10.50), who will also be looking for his first career win.

Seddon's only other start came last Tuesday, when he allowed seven runs in three innings of Florida's 13-8 win over Washington.
