The Braves picked up the series win over the Cardinals on Wednesday, thanks in part to Bryce Elder’s strongest start of the season.
Elder made his fourth career start against Louisville and entered play 1-2 with a 4.24 ERA against the club. Things didn’t start out well for the righty in Wednesday’s series finale, as he walked two batters before allowing an RBI double to put the Cardinals on the scoreboard. Elder called his first inning performance “atrocious.”
