The Atlanta Braves continue to roll as they extended their winning streak to nine-straight with a 4-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Spencer Strider made his first home start for Atlanta and was electric striking out four over the first three innings. The Braves pushed across a pair of runs in the home half of the third. Michael Harris singled with one out and then moved all the way to third on a single by Ronald Acuña Jr. Acuña was thrown out trying to steal second, but Dansby Swanson followed with a two-run home run off of Roansy Contreras to put Atlanta up 2-0.
