The Atlanta Braves will turn to rookie Spencer Strider for Game 3 against the Philadelphia Phillies in Game 3 of the NLDS. The decision was between Strider and veteran Charlie Morton for the start and Braves manager Brian Snitker said that the discussion went into late Thursday night before they made the final determination.
“We went into last night talking about that,” Snitker said of the decision to go with Strider. “Because like I told you the other day, we put this kid on the roster to pitch him and because we won the game the other night on Wednesday with Kyle going deep into the game and pretty much the state of our bullpen.
