Jesus Ozoria will round out the rotation for the four-game series with Rome. Ozoria had a rough go-of-it in his last start. Against the RiverDogs on May 19th, Ozoria was unable to get through the 1st inning when he allowed three runs, while walking four. The GreenJackets ended up coming back and winning the game in extra-innings, but it was just 0.2 innings for Ozoria. The right hander was traded to the Giants for catcher
On the mound for Rome, it will be southpaw Gabriel Noguera. Noguera enters his 3rd season in the Braves organization. In 2018, he did not play after he was suspended for 50 games because of a 2nd positive test for a drug of abuse. In his 1st season in 2017, between the Dominican Summer League and Gulf Coast League, he posted a 1.58 ERA between the two.
