Braves' Ace Strider Shocks Fans with Unexpected Performance in Season Opener
The same thing happened two batters later, when Guerrero roped a single up the gut to score Bichette. Murphy wanted that fastball in; Strider left it elevated in the middle of the plate. Guerrero took advantage of a missed spot in the sixth, too, driving a hanging 3-2 slider 412 feet to the upper deck in right.

In the postgame scrum, Strider appeared understandably unsatisfied with the performance. That energy was accentuated by Atlanta’s current schneid, with Wednesday’s loss dropping them to 5-13. Strider finding his stride is absolutely vital for the Braves, who have already lost 2024 breakout hurler Reynaldo Lopez for most of the season. Fellow 2024 injured listee Ronald Acuña Jr. should be back by early June, another obvious boost for a team desperately in need of all the jolts it can get.
