In the final game of their series against the Reds, the Braves sent out flame throwing ace Spencer Strider to face off against a fellow high-velocity right-hander in Hunter Greene. However, both pitchers struggled early, with plenty of traffic on the basepaths.
The Reds struck first, putting Strider on the ropes with back-to-back singles from Jonathan India and TJ Friedl. After a long flyout off the bat of Jake Fraley to move both runners, Tyler Stephenson drove them in with a single to right field. Strider managed to limit the damage after that, punctuating the end of the inning with a strikeout.
