The Atlanta Braves opted to give a bullpen day a shot on Saturday in the 9-6 loss to the Orioles. Aaron Bummer and Dylan Dodd were utilized to get through the first five innings, allowing a combined five runs in that span.
By the time it was all said and done, the Braves used seven pitchers to get through 10 innings. They're going to need Grant Holmes to give them his usual six or seven innings on Sunday if they want to absorb that, even if some of the same arms will be available tomorrow.
When this time through the rotation comes about next week, Snitker wasn't feeling great about giving this strategy another go.
