Following a sloppy-but-entertaining series loss to the Cubs, the Atlanta Braves are keeping their extended road trip going as they travel to the beautiful PNC Park in Pittsburgh to take on the Pittsburgh Pirates in the first game of a four-game series.
With Bryce Elder and Charlie Morton falling short of expectations over the past two games, the Braves are likely thrilled that Spencer Strider’s turn in the order is today. Strider is currently on an eight-start run where he’s gone at least six innings and struck out at least nine batters in each of those outings.
