Atlanta Braves hold a 1-0 series lead over the visiting Chicago Cubs after Grant Holmes and relievers combined for a one-hitter in Tuesday's 5-2 opener at Truist Park, bolstering their MLB-best 29-13 record and top run differential. Game three features Cubs right-hander Ben Brown (1-1) against a Braves rotation anchored by aces Chris Sale (2.20 ERA) and Bryce Elder (1.81 ERA), with Atlanta enjoying home-field advantage and superior bullpen depth. Cubs (27-15, NL Central leaders) face pitching woes, including Cade Horton (60-day IL, forearm), Matthew Boyd (meniscus), and Jordan Wicks (forearm) sidelined, thinning their staff amid a recent rough patch of shutouts. Braves miss Ronald Acuña Jr. (hamstring, 10-day IL) and Sean Murphy (fractured finger, 10-day IL), but momentum favors the hosts in this clash of NL elites.
