Strider's Strong Debut, Braves Sweep Rockies

0:00On May 3rd, Spencer Strider made his season debut for the Atlanta Braves on Sunday, helping them snag an 11-6 win and sweep the Colorado. Rockies. The ace went three and one-third innings, giving up three earned runs on four hits, including two homers, but he fans six batters to show he's still. Got that swing and miss stuff. He'd been sidelined over a month with an oblique strain that scratched him from his final spring training outing. Earlier this week, Sunday got locked in as his return date, and the Braves activated him that morning of a strong rehabston, three starts with a 1.42 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and 18 strikeouts in 12 and two-thirds innings. The game stayed tight early, with the Braves jumping ahead three to one before falling behind four to three. Then they exploded with rallies in the fifth, sixth, and ninth to seal it. This came from everywhere, led by Jonah Heim's five RBIs and his first homer of the year, six different Braves drove and runs, and another six notched multiple hits.

1:04Now they're heading to Seattle for a series against the Mariners starting Monday at 9.40 PM, with local kid JR Richie on the mound. Strider's tweaking a new pitching approach from spring training, so watch how it clicks in these big games as the Braves keep rolling. That's the story for today, MLB News.
