The San Diego Padres have lost six of their last 7 games, with the offense struggling to generate run support for their starters.
SAN DIEGO — Spencer Strider and three relievers combined on a four-hitter and Matt Olson, Ozzie Albies and Sean Murphy each hit an impressive homer for the NL East-leading Atlanta Braves, who beat the struggling San Diego Padres 8-1 Tuesday night for their eighth straight win.
Strider held the Padres hitless until Soto singled on his 90th pitch, with one out in the sixth, on a grounder that was deflected by second baseman Albies. Until then, Strider had allowed only three walks and a hit batter. Braves manager Brian Snitker said the right-hander “kind of got better” as the game went on. “His rhythm and everything, when he ended the game, he probably could have pitched all night, honestly.”
Said Strider: “The walks and the hit by pitch were frustrating but you keep pounding the zone, you keep attacking, you follow your mentality, you get your outs quickly when you need them.”
