Making his first start for the Braves, José Suarez pitched seven innings of two-run ball and struck out a career-high nine to earn a win in in the first game of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Angels.

Suarez had struck out eight on three occasions with the Angels, most recently in 2022. He was just added to the Atlanta roster to start in the doubleheader today, and it’s unclear whether he’ll get the chance to stick around. He made a nice case for it, though, and he’ll have to go on waivers if the Braves do try to demote him.
