The Braves managed to win another series with a chance at a much-needed sweep on Sunday behind a vintage Spencer Strider performance that was a sight for sore eyes. Strider’s velocity looked much more like we have been used to seeing from him than before his injuries and his strikeout stuff did too.

Spencer Strider carved up Rockies hitters with a dominant performance, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 4-1 victory at Truist Park. Strider struck out 13 batters in six shutout innings, and only one of the Rockiers’ four baserunners against him reached second base.

Spencer Strider had his long-anticipated breakthrough game on Saturday as the Atlanta Braves took down the Colorado Rockies 4-1. He struck out 13 batters across six scoreless innings while allowing just three hits and a walk.
