The Atlanta Braves suffered their second loss of the season during Tuesday night’s matchup with the A’s. The Braves fell 5-2, and though they had an early lead, it was squandered by the starting pitching. José Suarez got the nod, and in 3.2 innings, he gave up four runs on five hits. He walked three and struck out six.
Suarez’s struggles in spring training carried over into Tuesday night. He allowed six runs and 11 hits across two appearances this spring.
The Atlanta offense was also lackluster, tallying just six hits on the night. The Braves have yet another chance to turn things around and win the series Wednesday afternoon at 12:15 ET.
The Seattle Mariners signed their top shortstop prospect, Colt Emerson, to an eight-year extension. He is guaranteed $95M.
