The Braves won their eighth in a row on Tuesday night, crushing the Padres behind three long home runs and another stellar start from Spencer Strider.
As the Braves have done so often during this strong stretch, the offense went to work in the early innings. Sean Murphy walked, Vaughn Grissom lined a ball a ball up the middle, and Kevin Pillar roped a double over the left field fence for a 1-0 lead in the second.
Sean Murphy crushed a ball to the upper deck in left field to begin the fourth to make it 2-0.
