Spencer Strider recorded 13 strikeouts in his first win of the season, Ronald Acuña Jr. stayed hot with two hits, including a two-run homer, and the Atlanta Braves beat Colorado 4-1 on Saturday. The loss left the Rockies with the worst record through 70 games in the modern era.

The Atlanta Braves will have to wait a bit to see if they can handle the Rockies as expected on Saturday as we are in a rain delay.

Spencer Strider struck out a season-high 13 over six scoreless innings and the Atlanta Braves beat the visiting Colorado Rockies 4-1 on Saturday for their third straight win.

With their 4-1 loss to the Atlanta Braves on Saturday, the Colorado Rockies surpassed the 1932 Boston Red Sox, who were 14-56, for the worst 70-game mark since 1901.

The Atlanta Braves will not have left-hander Chris Sale make his next scheduled start as planned, instead moving him back in the rotation.

The Atlanta Braves started the weekend series on a high note after Friday night’s 12-4 defeat over the Colorado Rockies. Bryce Elder got the ball to start the game; he threw 3.1 mediocre innings and allowed each of Colorado’s runs. The Atlanta offense, however, finally came to life and put together a few crooked number innings.
