Michael Harris II had four of the Braves nine hits last night including his 12th home run of the season as Atlanta opened their three-game set against the Red Sox with a 7-6 win at Fenway Park. Spencer Strider gave up first inning home runs to the first two batters he faced – Jarren Duran and Ceddanne Rafaela – but settled down after that allowing just one more run over five innings to improve to 3-0 on the season. Ranger Suarez allowed five earned runs over five innings to earn his third loss in five decisions.
Tonight’s pitching matchup features Bryce Elder taking the ball for Atlanta and Connelly Early for the Sox. Elder is 4–2 with a 1.97 ERA while Early counters with a 4–2 record and 3.33 ERA. Early will face a Braves’ lineup that ranks first in baseball in hits (491), second in home runs (74), third in batting average (.260), and third in runs scored (289). The Sox offense is the issue in Beantown this season “highlighted” by their 41 home runs (#29 in baseball) and 200 runs scored (#30 – dead last).
