The two best teams in the MLB are dueling, and the Atlanta Braves hold the series win after two games over the Tampa Bay Rays. During the series-sealer, a former Clemson Tiger shut down the offense of the AL-leading Rays.
Spencer Strider started for Atlanta, a week after he secured a spot in the MLB All-Star Game. Playing on the road, Strider had arguably his best start of the year. He pithced 6.1 scoreless innings, giving up just four hits and striking out 11 on the night. Considering it’s his final start before the All-Star break, it’s a perfect way to send it off.
