Hurston Waldrep dominates again for the Atlanta Braves in arguably his best start yet. He delivered seven scoreless innings, allowing four hits and a walk while striking out seven.
He reached a career-high innings pitched in the major leagues and matched a career-high in strikeouts. He punched out seven in his last start.
We’ve been waiting to see when he’ll blink first in a game, and so far, that moment hasn’t come. Through four outings, three starts, his ERA is down to 0.73 with a near-identical 0.77 WHIP.
Yet again, his splitter remains a lethal pitch to hitters with all seven of his strikeouts coming on the pitch.
