ATLANTA BRAVES: Atlanta wraps up the regular season with a three-game set against the Pittsburgh Pirates, starting today in Pittsburgh. The Braves have already secured a postseason berth. As it stands, Atlanta will likely host St. Louis in the first round of the playoffs.

Today, left-hander Paul Maholm (13-10, 3.71 ERA) will take the mound for his final regular season appearance. Since coming over to the Braves, he’s 4-4 this season with a 3.65 ERA. Maholm was very efficient in his last outing, throwing 6 2/3 innings and set the table for a shutout win over the Marlins last Wednesday. He retired 13 of the first 14 hitters faced. Then on Tuesday, Tommy Hanson (13-9, 4.38) will throw for Atlanta.

Last Thursday, he allowed two early runs but the Braves rallied for a 6-2 win against the Marlins, snapping a seven-start span without picking up a win for Hanson.
