Strider's Honest Assessment of Season Debut

Atlanta Braves pitcher Spencer Strider returned from the injured list on Sunday against the Colorado Rockies, allowing three runs in 3 1/3 innings despite striking out six.

Strider struggled with control, issuing a career-high five walks in the 11-6 win. He didn't shy away from criticism after the game, stating, "I’d rather be pitching than hurt... If I can’t, then that’s a problem."

The right-hander's next start is scheduled for next weekend against the Los Angeles Dodgers. While the team secured the win, Strider admitted there is significant work to be done. capturengo.com
