Spencer Strider, Braves look to complete sweep Sunday against Phillies

After another one-run win Saturday night, the Atlanta Braves will go for a sweep Sunday afternoon when they wrap up a three-game series against the Philadelphia Phillies. Atlanta took the opener Friday thanks to a six-run eighth inning that turned a 2-1 deficit into a 7-2 win. Ronald Acuña Jr. kept it going Saturday driving in all four runs as Atlanta hung on for a 4-3 victory over Aaron Nola.

Spencer Strider will make his 20th start of the season in Sunday’s finale. He allowed a season-high nine hits, but just two earned runs in five innings in his last start against the Giants.
