Chase Dollander and the Colorado Rockies hope they caught a glimpse into the future Saturday afternoon.
Spencer Strider carved up Rockies hitters with a dominant performance, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 4-1 victory at Truist Park. Strider struck out 13 batters in six shutout innings, and only one of the Rockiers’ four baserunners against him reached second base.
Even when the Braves went to the bullpen, the visitors kept whiffing. When Jordan Beck struck out to end the ballgame, it was No. 19 on the day for Rockies hitters — a season high. Colorado is now 13-57 on the season.
