THE SETUP
The last week before the All-Star break is underway. The Braves are coming off a win in extra innings Sunday and a series win against the Marlins. The Pirates pitched a shutout Sunday, and man, did they need it. Derek Shelton will open the day's activity at 3:45 p.m. I've got you covered from the ballpark today and tomorrow, with an assist from Tom Reed. And DK will be here Wednesday.
