Blake Snell making his season debut for the Los Angeles Dodgers against the Atlanta Braves, tied for the best record in Major League Baseball, may have been a tough opening assignment.
Pitching in his first game since Game 7 of last yearâs World Series on Blake Snell bobblehead night, the left-hander was battered for four earned runs and six hits over three innings in the Dodgersâ 7-2 loss to the Braves.
Snell could have used some run support amid his opening struggles, but the Dodgers couldnât generate any offense against the opposing starting pitcher. Making his second start since returning from a left oblique strain, Spencer Strider allowed only one hit in six scoreless innings with eight strikeouts.
Striderâs performance was far more encouraging than his previous outing, when he gave up three runs, four hits and five walks in 3 1/3 innings against the Colorado Rockies.
The Dodgers didnât get on the scoreboard until the ninth inning with two runs off Atlantaâs Reynaldo LĂłpez on an Alex Call double and home run. But that wasnât nearly enough to match the seven runs that the Braves had already scored.
