Digest more
The Braves have reasons to believe they are just getting started. And the two biggest ones are Acuña and Strider.
Spencer Strider is back. The former Clemson ace records a masterful 13-strikeout performance against the Rockies to claim his first win of the 2025 season after his return from elbow surgery.
The Braves beat the Colorado Rockies on Saturday behind a dominant 13-strikeout performance from Spencer Strider.
Strider displayed his dominant form for the first time since returning from last year’s season-ending right elbow surgery and Acuña homered for the seventh time since returning three weeks ago after his own year-long absence.
With the trade deadline looming and postseason hopes fading, the Braves must find answers fast — starting with former Clemson ace Spencer Strider’s impact.
