After another tough loss Wednesday, the Atlanta Braves will try to snap a four-game skid and avoid a sweep, when they wrap up a three-game series Thursday against the Arizona Diamondbacks. The Braves dropped the opener in wild fashion losing 16-13. They went 0-for-5 with runners in scoring position Wednesday in a 5-3 loss. Thursday’s game will feature a marquee pitching matchup between Atlanta’s Spencer Strider and Arizona’s Zac Gallen.
Strider’s first start coming out of the All-Star break didn’t go well as he wallowed eight hits and five runs against the White Sox.
