As a considerably more difficult assignment, this rates as an excellent followup to his 13-strikeout gem against the Rockies. Strider topped out at 98.4 mph and averaged 96.0 mph with his fastball tonight, a slight improvement over his season mark of 95.3 mph. Strider opened up 0-5 with a 5.40 ERA, but these last two outings have been strong enough to already drop his ERA to 3.89. Expectations are that he and Clay Holmes will face off again, this time in Queens, next Wednesday.

The Braves needed to clear up spots on both their active and 40-man rosters for the arrival of Didier Fuentes on Thursday and it looks like Ruiz drew the short straw this time around. The 30-year-old hurler posted an 8.82 ERA, 1.96 WHIP and a 15/9 K/BB ratio over 16 1/3 innings in 18 appearances with the Braves.

That’s a sweep for Atlanta. Olson’s bases-loaded double broke the game open in the sixth. He’s batting .321/.451/.607 with three homers and 17 RBI in 71 plate appearances during the month of June, and his current .850 OPS is his highest mark since the second game of the season.

Sale clearly had plenty in the tank pitching on eight days’ rest and made the Mets feel his wrath. They hit dribbler after dribbler and didn’t put a single runner into scoring position after the first inning. Sale had no fear attacking them with fastballs in the zone which set up dozens of devastating sliders darting low. It was pure domination. The only reason he wasn’t able to finish the complete game shutout is because Brandon Nimmo hit a flare over Austin Riley’s head with two outs in the ninth inning and manager Brian Snitker didn’t want to push Sale when he’d already amassed a season-high 116 pitches. He hasn’t allowed more than two earned runs in a single start since April 13th and has reclaimed his throne as one of the league’s best. If the Braves keep him on regular rest, he’s lined up for a two-start week against the Mets, again, and Phillies.
