(Sports Network) - The Atlanta Braves will try to break out of their recent home funk this afternoon, when they wrap up a three-game series versus the Houston Astros at Turner Field.

Atlanta has lost four of five games at home, but still owns a 29-18 record as the host this season despite Saturday's 6-1 setback to Houston in the second test of this series. Brian McCann homered for the Braves, who have dropped six of seven games overall.

Starter Jo-Jo Reyes dropped his third start in a row after yielding six hits and four runs in just 4 1/3 innings of work.

Taking the ball for the Braves in Sunday's series finale will be Charlie Morton. In his first year in the big leagues, Morton is 1-2 with a 6.16 ERA in four outings.

Morton was hammered the last time out on Tuesday versus Philadelphia, as he gave up five runs on eight hits and two homers in just two innings of an 8-3 setback at home. The righty has never faced Houston.

The Astros earned their first win of the month (1-4) with last night's victory. Mark Loretta finished with three doubles and four RBI, while Carlos Lee and Miguel Tejada knocked in the other runs for the Astros.

Chris Sampson limited Atlanta to two hits and one run over five innings in his first start since May 25 to pick up the win.

Wandy Rodriguez will handle pitching duties for the Astros on Sunday, and he is 3-3 with a 3.08 ERA in 11 starts this season. Rodriguez last toed the rubber on Tuesday versus the Los Angeles Dodgers and did not record a decision, allowing five runs and six hits in five innings of a 7-6 loss.

The left-hander is 1-1 with a whopping 10.13 ERA in three career games (two starts) against the Braves.

This is the first series of the season between these teams. Atlanta and Houston split six games a year ago.
