The Atlanta Braves extended their winning streak to seven-straight games Wednesday afternoon with a 7-3 win over the Oakland Athletics.
After record setting performance in his last start, Spencer Strider’s day got off to a tough start Wednesday. He walked Vimael Machin to begin the game before Seth Brown lined out to center for the first out. Strider then issued another free pass to Sean Murphy. Stephen Vogt followed with a double off the left center wall that scored Machin to give Oakland a 1-0 lead. Ramon Laureano then grounded out sharply to Dansby Swanson for the second out.
