Spencer Strider turned in another strong performance Sunday night for the Atlanta Braves and again showed that they made the correct choice when they inserted him into the rotation. Strider matched Dodgers’ starter Tony Gonsolin pitch-for-pitch and put the Braves in position to win before the bullpen faltered late.
“I’m just glad I kept us in the in the ball game,” Strider said after the game. “Gonsolin was really good, keeping guys off balance and so I just felt like I had to go pitch for pitch with him and give us some time to get the bats going and get to him.
