Struggling Braves host Marlins

Jun 2, 2008 - 2:09 PM Florida (31-24) at Atlanta (29-28) 7:10 pm EDT

ATLANTA (Ticker) -- The Atlanta Braves hope a return to Turner Field brings more success when they open up a four-game series with the Florida Marlins on Monday.

Atlanta went 1-5 on a six-game road trip and were swept over the weekend by the Cincinnati Reds. The Braves now own the worst road record in the majors at 7-21. However, they are one of the best teams at home with a 22-7 mark.

Young lefthander Jo-Jo Reyes (2-3, 4.83 ERA) hopes to get the Braves back in the win column when he takes the hill. Reyes has lost his last two starts but only allowed one run in seven innings during Atlanta's 1-0 setback at Milwaukee on Wednesday.

Florida is continuing its 10-game road trip against division foes and have already dropped two out of three to both the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies.

Scott Olson (4-2, 3.65) will get the start for the Marlins as he looks to earn his first win since May 6.

The 24-year-old lefthander did not factor in the decision in his last outing, giving up four runs in five innings during Florida's 7-6 loss at New York on Wednesday.

Olson pitched seven scoreless innings in his first start against Atlanta on April 15, giving up just five hits without a walk while earning the win.
