The Atlanta Braves played spoilers on Saturday night with a 5-3 win over the Detroit Tigers.
In Aaron Blair’s final start in a rough rookie season, the right-hander struck out 10 batters to get his second win of the year.
Blair lasted six innings, allowing just four hits and two earned runs on his way to his second win. It was a promising start for Blair, displaying an ability to generate swings and misses that he lacked throughout most of the season.
Despite an impressive resume at Turner Field, the Braves scored two quick runs on Jordan Zimmermann in his four innings of work.
