Spencer Strider leads Braves into Wednesday’s doubleheader against Tigers

After getting washed out Tuesday, the Atlanta Braves and Detroit Tigers will wrap up a three-game series Wednesday afternoon with a straight doubleheader at Comerica Park. Spencer Strider will get the start for Atlanta in Game 1 while the Tigers will go with righty Michael Lorenzen.

Atlanta took a 5-2 lead into the ninth inning in Monday’s series opener, but saw the Tigers battle back against Raisel Iglesias in the ninth. Atlanta missed an opportunity in the 10th and the Tigers walked it off to snap a nine-game losing streak.

Strider is coming off his worst start of the season where he was tagged for eight runs and a pair of homers in just four innings against the Mets.
