After another frustrating loss, the Atlanta Braves will try to put an end to a three-game losing streak Tuesday when they continue a four-game series against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Spencer Strider allowed six runs and didn’t make it out of the third inning in Monday’s opener. The Braves’ offense ended up battling back, but came up just short in a 7-6 loss. It was the third straight game where an Atlanta starter failed to make it through the fifth inning.
That will serve as the backdrop Tuesday when Yonny Chirinos takes the mound for his third start with Atlanta after being acquired from Tampa Bay.
