Atlanta Braves' Bryce Elder Turns in Big Start Again vs. Nationals
Bryce Elder pitched well once again in the Braves' game on Friday.
The Atlanta Braves defeated the Washington Nationals by a final score of 5-4 on Friday night. Atlanta improved to 36-16 with the win as their incredible season continues. Bryce Elder led the way with another impressive start on the mound.
Elder turned in six innings of one-run baseball while striking out four hitters. He allowed five hits and one walk as well in the quality start. The Braves' bullpen surrendered a few runs so Elder did not earn the win, but Atlanta was able to earn the victory in the end.
Elder, 27, has been one of the best starting pitchers in the game this year. He now holds a 1. 97 ERA across his 11 starts.
Elder has 60 strikeouts in 68. 2 innings of work as well. Chris Sale understandably receives most of the attention in the Braves' starting rotation, but Elder's performance should not be overlooked.
