ATLANTA — Spencer Strider added another milestone in his sensational rookie season during Sunday’s start.
By striking out Philadelphia’s Nick Maton to begin the fifth inning, Strider became the third rookie in franchise history to reach the 200-strikeout mark and the first in the modern era. Strider needed only 130 innings to collect 200 strikeouts.
In the Braves’ 5-2 win over the Phillies on Sunday at Truist Park, Strider struck out 10 batters over six innings. He allowed one run on one hit. The right-hander ranks sixth in the majors with 202 strikeouts this season.
