The Braves dropped a heartbreaker to the Rays on Monday night, 14-5.
Mike Foltynewicz, who worked 3 u2153 innings before getting chased by the robust Rays offense, created more questions than he answered. As his average fastball velocity sat at an alarming 89.3 MPH - topping out at 92.9 - there appears there could be real reason for concern. The truncated nature of this season is well-documented, so if Folty is ailing, there is little time to waste for the Braves.
Despite a few homers, the Braves’ offense wasn’t much to write home about either.
