In the series opener, the Braves suffered a disappointing 8-3 defeat against the Diamondbacks with both Spencer Strider and Rafael Montero struggling on the mound. Strider's woes began in the first inning when he allowed a towering homer to Ketel Marte. Despite a brief offensive spark from Drake Baldwin and a couple of errors by Arizona's defense, the Braves could not mount a significant comeback. Zac Gallen's solid performance compounded Strider's challenges as the Braves simply could not keep up with the Diamondbacks' scoring.
The Braves couldn't bounce back after a rough start by Spencer Strider, who allowed multiple early runs, ultimately falling to the Diamondbacks 8-3.
Ketel Marte's powerful hitting propelled Arizona early, with a massive 445-foot home run, putting Strider's performance under immediate scrutiny and pressure.
