KEY GAME INFORMATION
ATLANTA: ATLANTA (AP) - The Atlanta Braves usually start the season touted as playoff contenders.
Not this time.
For one of the few times in the last two-plus decades, not much is expected of a team that collapsed late last season, fired general manager Frank Wren and underwent a massive overhaul during the offseason.
The Braves dealt away sluggers Justin Upton, Jason Heyward and Evan Gattis, receiving only one player (starting pitcher Shelby Miller) who is likely to make a significant impact right away. Mostly, the team was focused on restocking a once-mighty farm system that fell on hard times during Wren's regime.
The message was clear: The Braves are rebuilding under new GM John Hart, with an eye toward the 2017 opening of the team's new suburban stadium.
''It's kind of on us to just put our heads down and work hard and try to win as many games as we can with the team we've got,'' third baseman Chris Johnson said. ''We can't look back. We can't look at who's gone.''
The Braves are likely to remain one of the most offensively challenged teams in baseball, but the pitching staff at least looks promising. The 24-year-old Miller had 25 wins for St. Louis over the last two season and joins a rotation that already includes two more 24-year-olds: All-Star Julio Teheran (14-13, 2.89) and left-hander Alex Wood (11-11, 2.78). If lefty Mike Minor, only 27, can bounce back from shoulder problems, the outlook is even brighter.
Atlanta also has perhaps the most dominant closer in the game, Craig Kimbrel, who led the NL in saves for the fourth year in a row with 47.
''I like our pitching,'' manager Fredi Gonzalez said. ''Our rotation is going to be as good as you want.''
Even if the pitching comes through, the Braves have slipped way behind Washington in the NL East and could have trouble holding off the up-and-coming Miami Marlins as well.
Yep, times have changed in Atlanta.
Or maybe not.
''The goal is the same for me,'' Gonzalez insisted. ''Our goal is to make the playoffs.''
WHAT'S IN A NAME?: The center fielder formerly known as B.J. Upton is hoping a name change - actually, using his given name - will help him bounce back from two horrific seasons. The early results were not promising for Melvin Upton Jr., who missed all of spring training with a foot injury. Eric Young Jr. will hold down the starting job until Upton returns. Even then, Upton may have to share playing time unless he shows significant improvement. As it stands now, he's one of the greatest free-agent busts in baseball history. Since signing a $75-million, five-year contract with the Braves, his two-season totals are .198 with 21 homers, 51 RBIs and a staggering 324 strikeouts.
WHERE'S THE OFFENSE?: Even with Upton, Heyward and Gattis, the Braves scored the second-fewest runs in the majors. The offense was virtually non-existent coming down the stretch, the major reason Atlanta went 7-18 over the final month and wound up 17 games behind Washington after being tied for first at the All-Star break. The homer-or-bust philosophy clearly didn't work, so the Braves are hoping to scrap for runs this season. They'll have to with a lineup likely to include journeymen such as Young and Jonny Gomes, as well as rookie second baseman Jace Peterson. The only major offensive addition was right fielder Nick Markakis, and he's coming off neck surgery.
FREDI'S FUTURE: After firing Wren with a week to go in the disappointing 2014 season, the Braves decided to bring back Gonzalez for another year. He certainly deserved a shot to make up for a late-season collapse that was largely the result of a feeble offense. Let's not forget: During Gonzalez's first three years as manager, Atlanta won an NL East title, made two playoff appearances and missed out on another postseason berth on the final day. But his long-term future looks shaky, even with a franchise that cherishes stability. The Braves are definitely in rebuilding mode, and the manager often takes the fall when the losses begin to pile up.
SAN FRANCISCO: SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The San Francisco Giants lost Pablo Sandoval to big money and the Boston Red Sox. They missed out paying big money to left-hander Jon Lester, who instead signed with the Chicago Cubs.
While the reigning World Series champions are ready to shed that every-other-year title trend, plenty of people wonder whether general manager Brian Sabean and his staff did enough during the offseason to stay near the top in the talented NL West.
Ask manager Bruce Bochy and his players, and they consider the additions of healthy right-hander Matt Cain and center fielder Angel Pagan back into the mix as a big deal right up there with signing a prized free agent.
And, of course, they have World Series MVP Madison Bumgarner ready to build off his remarkable postseason.
As he addressed the team at the start of spring training, Bochy reminded the Giants that it's hard to win consistently year after year.
''We had a great year last year,'' Bochy said. ''We have to go about our business and get ready for a new year. We'll still enjoy and savor those memories but at the same time it's time for us to get ready. ... Your lock on success is as good as that last game, so we've got to get after it.''
Durable right fielder Hunter Pence is sidelined with a broken left forearm that could keep him out until early May, while left fielder Nori Aoki will join the team he lost to in last year's Fall Classic while with the Kansas City Royals.
Casey McGehee, traded to San Francisco from the Marlins, will take over at third base with Sandoval's departure on a $95 million, five-year contract to Boston. He has said he won't try to replace the formerly popular Kung Fu Panda.
''I feel like we get a lot of flak for not doing anything this offseason,'' shortstop Brandon Crawford said. ''We got Aoki, we got McGehee. We have Cain coming back healthy that I think a lot of people forget. We've got Pagan coming back healthy. It's almost like getting four new guys.''
Bochy joked to Aoki - whom he calls ''a catalyst'' - about hitting 30 home runs. The speedy Japanese outfielder responded, ''24.''
''We're playing for a championship,'' Aoki said. ''It's a passionate group of guys.''
Here are some things to look for with the Giants, who have captured three World Series titles in the past five years:
BUMGARNER'S NEXT STEP: Bumgarner threw 270 innings, including 21 with two wins and a save in the World Series.
He went 4-1 during the postseason following an 18-10 regular season. From his four-hit, 10-strikeout gem that got things started in an 8-0 wild-card win at Pittsburgh all the way through his brilliant relief outing in Game 7 of the World Series to beat the Royals, Bumgarner became one of the postseason's best pitchers ever.
''I think he'll be comfortable in his skin,'' pitching coach Dave Righetti said.
HUDSON'S HURRAH: This is it for Tim Hudson, who has said he will retire after his 17th major league season.
He won his first championship last year, advancing out of the first round for the first time.
Now, the 39-year-old pitcher is bouncing back from surgery to remove bone spurs from his right ankle, the same one he injured during the 2013 season with Atlanta that sidelined him for the final two months.
PAGAN'S BALKY BACK: Pagan arrived at spring training declaring himself pain-free for the first time in years following back surgery.
Despite some flare-ups, Pagan and the Giants are counting on a full season. He joked to Bochy that he's ready to play 160 games.
Pagan played in only 96 last season and 71 in 2013 because of injuries.
''It's a new slate for everybody, including him,'' Bochy said.
RELIABLE BULLPEN: San Francisco's bullpen is lined up again - Jeremy Affeldt, Javier Lopez, Sergio Romo and Santiago Casilla. Each of these pitchers has been part of all three title teams.
Casilla became closer after Romo struggled in June, though Bochy knows he can mix and match with these guys. Then, there's Yusmeiro Petit, who showed he can start or relieve with equal efficiency.
''You want to remind them to take advantage of what you have,'' Bochy said. ''We've got a great group here and we don't ever want to lose out on this opportunity.''

*Braves-Giants Preview* =======================

By KEVIN CHROUST STATS Writer

Atlanta (23-25) at San Francisco (30-20), 10:05 p.m. EDT

Tim Lincecum has twice concluded May with an ERA under 3.00, and both times he also ended the season below that mark.

It'll take quite a bit more work for that to happen this season, but if he's able to finish his month there in Saturday night's outing against the Atlanta Braves, the San Francisco Giants starter should have a decent chance to claim two other feats. Lincecum has never won five straight home starts, and he'll also have a shot at establishing his top home scoreless run ever.

"The evolution of the last few years has been pretty rocky, so I'm taking what I've got going right now as a definite plus," Lincecum told MLB's official website after his last home start.

The right-hander's April and May of the previous three seasons resulted in a 9-14 record and 5.04 ERA in 33 starts. Lincecum (5-2, 2.56 ERA) was 5-4 with a 2.22 ERA through May in 2011, which led to a 2.74 season mark. He also did it in 2008.

This season has been a return to that early season form, particularly at AT&T Park with a 4-1 record, a 1.13 ERA and a scoreless streak of 22 innings - the longest active home mark in the majors. His personal-best run went 27 innings from June 13-July 11 of last year.

He's also gone 4-0 with a 2.05 ERA in five starts this month and has a shot at going unbeaten in six straight starts for the first time since going 10 from Oct. 1, 2009-May 20, 2010.

However, he is coming off one of his worst starts of the season. Lincecum surrendered four runs - all on three homers - in Monday's 8-4 win in Milwaukee but still came away with the decision.

He won both of his starts against Atlanta last season while allowing two runs in 13 2-3 innings to improve to 9-6 with a 2.76 ERA in 15 career matchups. Andrelton Simmons (1 for 9), Cameron Maybin (4 for 24), Eric Young Jr. (4 for 21), Chris Johnson (3 for 15) and Freddie Freeman (4 for 19) have all struggled against the two-time Cy Young Award winner.

After Friday's 4-2 win secured at least a split in the series, the Giants (30-20) have won five straight with a 2.00 ERA while limiting opponents to a .180 average. Over a 13-2 run, they've averaged 6.27 runs and batted .306 to move back into first place.

Buster Posey was 2 for 4 with a home run, double and three RBIs. Brandon Crawford went 2 for 4 to boost his average to .393 over his last 14 games, and the career .248 hitter has a .342 average in 21 games against the Braves.

San Francisco has won 11 of 14 over Atlanta, including seven of eight at AT&T Park with the Braves averaging 2.13 runs and batting .172.

Atlanta (23-25) has dropped four of five to begin a 10-game road trip, and it's been limited to 1.63 runs and a .188 average in the last eight games. A.J. Pierzynski was 0 for 3 Friday to dip to 1 for 21 in his last six.

Williams Perez will try to slow the Giants and earn his first big league win in his third start. Perez (0-0, 4.05) has been impressive in his first two starts with two runs allowed in 11 innings with 14 strikeouts. In Monday's 6-3 loss at the Los Angeles Dodgers, the 24-year-old gave up a run and seven hits in six innings.

"He mixes his pitches really well," manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "He's not afraid to throw his secondary stuff when he's behind in the count. That takes a while for even the most veteran pitchers. So far, I've liked the way he's pitched and progressed."
