The Diamondbacks are on the road for the first time in 2024, this time facing the NL juggernaut Atlanta Braves at Truist Park. First pitch is at 4:20 PM MST.
Arizona had looked to avoid the Braves' high-velocity right-handed ace in Spencer Strider, but, due to inclement weather, Atlanta's matchup with the Chicago White Sox was postponed until later in the season, allowing Strider to get the start in game one of the D-backs series.
Strider, ever the strikeout machine, has racked up 27 strikeouts in his three career starts against the D-backs. That said, Arizona has still been able to touch up the young right-hander, forcing a 4.
