Like other members of the Braves’ rotation lately, Bryce Elder needed a good start. He gave the Braves seven scoreless, so if that’s your standard, then he had a good start. On a more scrutinized level, his 3/3 K/BB ratio was only okay, but given that the Braves spotted him a three-run first, he pretty much just cruised to the finish line in an easy 5-0 victory for the home team.
This game flew by, and there were few things to really note. The Atlanta attack once again did what it normally does: smash the ball in the first inning.
