Fri Apr 04 22:20:00 UTC 2025: ## Braves Aim to Break Winless Streak in Home Opener Against Marlins

**Atlanta, GA** – The Atlanta Braves return home for their home opener against the Miami Marlins Friday, April 4th at 7:15 p.m. EDT, carrying the weight of a historically bad 0-7 road trip. The team is desperate to avoid an 0-8 start to the season.

While the road trip was largely dismal, one bright spot was pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach’s strong performance against the San Diego Padres, earning him Player of the Week honors. His six shutout innings offer a glimmer of hope, particularly if the Braves’ struggling offense continues to underperform.

The Braves will face Marlins pitcher Max Meyer, a former top prospect. The matchup presents a mixed bag for Atlanta; Meyer has previously pitched strong games against them, but the Braves also managed to hit him hard in a previous encounter, scoring four runs, including three home runs.

The Braves’ offense needs a significant turnaround. While the Marlins have had a mediocre start, the Braves have been significantly worse. A win Friday would not only end their losing streak but also provide much-needed momentum for the team and their fans, especially on 404 Day. The game will be televised on FanDuel Sports South/Southeast and Gray TV and streamed on MLB.tv and the FanDuel Sports App.
