Braves' Ace Strider Shocks Fans with Unexpected Performance in Season Opener
Spencer Strider, he of the big legs and even bigger fastball, made his long-awaited return Wednesday afternoon. Just more than a year removed from reconstructive elbow surgery, the Atlanta Braves righty worked five innings against the Toronto Blue Jays. He tantalized and showed rust, allowing two earned runs while striking out five and earning the loss in a 3-1 defeat. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. popped him for a big fly in the sixth, which, after a walk to Anthony Santander, pushed Strider from the ballgame.
