Spencer Schwellenbach Strikes Out 11 Batters In Seven Dominant Innings On Saturday
5 months agoAtlanta Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach was dominant on Saturday afternoon, striking out 11 batters in seven innings of shutout ball in the Braves' 4-0 win over the New York Mets. Schwellenbach allowed just two hits and picked up the win, improving his record to 4-5 while decreasing his ERA to 4.06 on the season. The 24-year-old has started to turn a corner for the Braves, giving them four straight starts of at least six innings pitched. While still spotty during his tenure, he's been due for positive regression as his 3.73 xERA coming into Saturday shows more room for improvement. Fantasy managers looking for a sneaky arm to add may want to look in Schwellenbach's direction. He gets a tasty matchup in his next scheduled start on Thursday when the Braves host the Miami Marlins.
