ATLANTA (AP) — Travis d’Arnaud singled off the left-field wall to drive home the winning run in the 10th inning and the Atlanta Braves, who scored twice in the ninth, rallied late to beat the Arizona Diamondbacks 6-5 on Friday night.
After the game, Braves manager Brian Snitker said right-hander Spencer Strider will have an MRI on Saturday after complaining of discomfort in his elbow. Strider allowed five runs on seven hits and three walks with four strikeouts in four innings, leaving his ERA at 7.00 after two starts.
“He was complaining about his elbow,” Snitker said. “He was uncomfortable with how it was feeling.”
Strider led the majors with 20 wins and 281 strikeouts in 2023.
The hit by d’Arnaud off Scott McCough (0-2) knocked in pinch-runner Forrest Wall from second base. Wall scored easily as d’Arnaud began celebrating after rounding first.
