Atlanta Braves manager Brian Snitker said he believes starting pitchers can feed off the momentum generated by those who preceded them in the rotation.

No pressure, Bryce Elder.

The right-hander will look to continue a strong stretch by Braves starters Sunday night, when visiting Atlanta attempts to complete a three-game sweep of the New York Mets.
