The Braves are turning to Spencer Strider to start Game 3 of the NLDS at Citizens Bank Park, the Phillies' first home playoff game in 11 years.
Atlanta hadn't announced a starter until now. The options were Charlie Morton and Strider, who has not started since September 18 because of an oblique injury. That September 18 start was also against the Phillies and Strider dominated, allowing a run and striking out 10 over six innings.
The potential NL Rookie of the Year moved from the Braves' bullpen to the rotation at the end of May and faced the Phillies three times.
