Battery Power

That includes names from both the past and the future and the two tracks converged this morning as the Braves have once again dipped their toes into an extremely familiar well. Jesse Chavez is back. Again.

It’s always difficult to cover an entire game like that and this was no different for the Braves, as the bullpen bent and eventually broke in a 10-4 loss to the Cardinals. Despite the defeat, Brian Snitker remained upbeat and displayed the typical attitude that you’ve got to have during a long regular season.

The bullpen bent all night but it eventually broke later on, as the Atlanta Braves ended up suffering a heavy 10-4 defeat at the hands of the St. Louis Cardinals.

Liles/Atlanta Braves/Getty Images The good news is that the Atlanta Braves are currently on a bit of a roll, as they’ve won four straight games and are looking to pick up their second series victory in a row in order to make this a truly successful homestand. The bad news is that Spencer Strider’s not making the start tonight. Scott Blewett is getting the start tonight and I have a feeling that the Braves will also be using new call-up Nathan Wiles tonight as well.

Kevin D. Liles/Atlanta Braves/Getty Images Today should’ve been Spencer Strider’s second start of the regular season and his first start back at Truist Park in just over a full year. Instead, Strider ended up going right back on the shelf after just one start when he injured himself playing catch. It’s extremely unfortunate but this is also a sport where we’ve seen players injure themselves outside of games in some of the weirdest and wackiest ways.
