Spencer Strider recorded 13 strikeouts in his first win of the season, Ronald Acuña Jr. stayed hot with two hits, including a two-run homer, and the Atlanta Braves beat Colorado 4-1 on Saturday. The loss left the Rockies with the worst record through 70 games in the modern era.

Spencer Strider carved up Rockies hitters with a dominant performance, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 4-1 victory at Truist Park. Strider struck out 13 batters in six shutout innings, and only one of the Rockiers’ four baserunners against him reached second base.

The Braves managed to win another series with a chance at a much-needed sweep on Sunday behind a vintage Spencer Strider performance that was a sight for sore eyes. Strider’s velocity looked much more like we have been used to seeing from him than before his injuries and his strikeout stuff did too.
