NEW YORK — Spencer Schwellenbach struck out a career-best 11 over seven dominant innings of two-hit ball, and the Atlanta Braves stopped a six-game losing streak Saturday with a 4-0 victory against the New York Mets.
"I'm a confident person. I expect to throw good every time I get the ball and I think that's why I've had success. I'm not surprised by it," Schwellenbach said. "That was needed more than ever and I kind of dug a little bit deeper today."
Marcell Ozuna and Matt Olson hit back-to-back homers in the fourth after Mets starter Tylor Megill retired the first 11 batters in his return from the minors.
