Atlanta Braves (43-38) at Florida Marlins (37-44), 1:05 p.m.

(Sports Network) - Enthusiastic left-hander Dontrelle Willis tries to snap a five-start winless skid today, when the Florida Marlins host the Atlanta Braves in the finale of a three-game series at Dolphin Stadium. Willis, who won 22 games in 2005 before slumping to just 12 last season, has not won since a 9-4 defeat of the Chicago Cubs on May 29 at Wrigley Field. He's 0-4 with a no-decision since, though he pitched well in a 3-2 loss to Pittsburgh in his last outing on June 26. In that game, the 25-year-old Californian allowed seven hits and three runs in seven innings. He's 6-4 in 16 career starts against the Braves, posting a 4.85 earned run average in 104 innings. Journeyman right-hander Buddy Carlyle starts against the Marlins for the second time this season. In his first try on June 5 in Atlanta, the 29-year-old allowed just one hit and one run over seven innings in the Braves' 3-1 victory. The win was the first of his career in an Atlanta uniform after he entered the season 1-3 lifetime after previous stints with San Diego and the Los Angeles Dodgers. Most recently, the native of Omaha, Nebraska allowed five hits and a run over seven innings in downing Washington, 6-2, on June 26. Carlyle has made two road appearances this season and has posted a 2.57 ERA in seven innings. On Saturday, Edgar Renteria doubled home the go-ahead run during a five-run eighth inning as the Braves held on to defeat the Marlins, 6-5. Jeff Francoeur went 2-for-5 and drove in two runs during the decisive eighth inning for the Braves, who have won five straight, including the first two games of this three-game set. Chipper Jones and Kelly Johnson also drove in a run each for Atlanta, which has scored 41 runs during its current winning streak -- 31 in the last three games. Tim Hudson (8-5) started on the mound for the Braves and got the win. The right-hander allowed one run on seven hits, striking out six and walking one, over seven innings. Hudson has now won two straight starts after going 0-2 over his previous four starts. Dan Uggla and Miguel Olivo homered and Miguel Cabrera went 3-for-4 with an RBI for the Marlins, who have lost six of seven. Armando Benitez (2-4) got the loss, allowing five runs -- four earned -- on two hits with two walks in just one-third of an inning.
