Coming off of a rough loss on Friday night, the Braves looked to Spencer Strider to pave the way to a return to the win column.
Both pitchers cruised through the first two innings without any baserunners before the first batter reached in the third, as Jorge Mateo led off the inning with a soft-hit double. He reached third on a balk, but Strider struck out the side to keep Baltimore scoreless. The Braves flipped the script in the bottom of the inning, as Marcell Ozuna continued his hot streak and hit an opposite field homer for the game’s first run.
