The Braves’ offense fell flat on Saturday, scoring only one run against an unspectacular starting pitcher for the Rangers. Bryce Elder once again did not look particularly sharp, allowing three runs over 4.1 innings and walking three, despite an arsenal that really necessitates not walking batters. This start was far from disastrous though, as allowing only three runs is something that can be overcome, especially since Spencer Strider came in and was spectacular over 3.2 innings, allowing no runs and no hits while walking one and striking out five. This offense is a strength on paper but needs to both perform better and get some better luck if this team is to reach it’s potential.
