Atlanta Braves starter Spencer Schwellenbach was roughed up in his second career start and Atlanta was shut out for the first time in more than a year in their 9-0 loss to the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday.
“Lot of strikes, kid is learning,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said per ESPN. “He doesn’t have a lot to fall back on yet. But the stuff was good. He threw a lot of strikes. Got hurt with some two-strike, probably got too much of the plate. But he competes really well. Stuff is good and there’s a lot of upside there.
