Atlanta Braves Score vs. Kansas City Royals: Live Updates, Play-by-Play Starting Lineups of Baseball Game with First Pitch at 12:10 p.m. ET

Final Score: KC 1-0 ATL

The Atlanta Braves host the Kansas City Royals for the final game of their short series at 12 p.m. ET. The Braves are looking for their 11th win and as many of us are working today, we'd like to keep up with the score since we can't watch the game. If you want to keep up with the game, look no further. Check out MLB Gameday's updates with score, pitch-by-pitch breakdown and lineups for both squads. Let's look at the starting lineups and pitching matchups. 

The Braves have to feel great about their squad. They have a couple of key guys (Freddie Freeman, Brian McCann) injured and they are still pulling through day after day after getting their wins. They have relied on solo home runs for the first three weeks of the year and they hit three major ones in the bottom of the eighth to get their 10th straight victory. Jason Heyward started it with an opposite field bomb, then Justin Upton pulled a high fastball over the left field wall and Dan Uggla sent another souvenir to left field as the Braves rallied late to get the win. 

Check out the starting lineups for the Braves and Royals in this matchup. 
Royals: 
1. Gordon LF
2. Escobar SS
3. Butler 1B
4. Perez C
5. Cain CF
6. Francouer RF
7. Moustakas 3B
8. Getz 2B
9. Davis P

Braves: 
1. Upton CF 
2. Heyward RF
3. Upton LF
4. Gattis C
5. Uggla 2B
6. Francisco 3B
7. Johnson 1B
8. Simmons SS
9. Minor P

Aside from facing a right-hander, Juan Francisco gets rewarded with a start at third base following his two-homer performance in Tuesday's game. The Braves now have a chance two sweep before heading to Pittsburgh and playing the Pirates in a four-game series beginning on Thursday.
