After another tough loss Friday, the Atlanta Braves will try to get back on track Saturday night when they continue a three-game series against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Braves were once again unable to generate much offense in a 3-2 loss in the opener continuing a trend that has plagued them for the last couple of weeks. Spencer Strider will get the start for Atlanta Saturday while the Diamondbacks will go with right-hander Ryne Nelson.
Strider is an early favorite to take home the Cy Young award in the National League and enters Saturday’s start leading the majors with 106 strikeouts in just 63 2/3 innings.
