Spencer Strider pitched another gem against the Phillies — his career-high 13 strikeouts over 6.2 innings silenced Philadelphia for the majority of this contest. When combined with an explosion of offense from the Braves (with five RBIs coming from Eddie Rosario on Eddie Rosario Bobblehead Night), that was the recipe for a 13-1 blowout victory for Atlanta.
Unlike most Braves victories during this season, this didn’t start off with Atlanta getting out to a quick start before running away with it. Instead, the Phillies were the first ones to draw blood in this game and it came in frustrating fashion in the second inning.
