RecapSpencer Strider yielded three runs in five-plus innings Tuesday in a win over the Red Sox.
Strider gave up homers to Jarren Duran and Ceddanne Rafaela to start the top of the first, but he allowed just one more hit the rest of the way. He stayed in to start the sixth with a 5-2 lead, only to be pulled after a leadoff walk to Wilyer Abreu. Abreu later came around to score. Strider finished up with five strikeouts and 11 whiffs. He’s 3-0 with a 3.46 ERA since returning from a strained oblique, and the Braves have won all five of his starts. He’ll face the Reds on Sunday.
