After a thrilling win Tuesday night, the Atlanta Braves will try to clinch a sixth straight NL East title Wednesday when they wrap up a four-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. The Braves split Monday’s doubleheader and then outlasted Philadelphia in 10 innings Tuesday for a 7-6 win to reduce their magic number to two. Spencer Strider will be looking to bounce back from a rough outing last time out and will match up against Phillies lefty Cristopher Sánchez.
Strider struggled from the outset and was never able to settle in in his last start against the Pirates where he allowed six hits, three walks and six runs in just 2 2/3 innings against the Pirates.
