Spencer Strider’s return to the mound was met with anticipation. His reaction after it? Disappointment.
Making just his second start of the 2025 season and first since landing on the injured list with a right hamstring strain on April 21, the Atlanta Braves’ flame-throwing righty didn’t mince words after Tuesday night’s 5–3 loss to the Washington Nationals.
“Didn’t give us a chance to win the game, really,” Strider said bluntly. “Didn’t execute, stuff wasn’t consistent … Not acceptable for me.”
