Spencer Strider took a step in the right direction in his 13-strikeout, scoreless performance for the Atlanta Braves on Saturday. It was his first strong performance of the 2025 campaign, struggling in his first five starts of the season.

The Braves managed to win another series with a chance at a much-needed sweep on Sunday behind a vintage Spencer Strider performance that was a sight for sore eyes. Strider’s velocity looked much more like we have been used to seeing from him than before his injuries and his strikeout stuff did too.

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.
