"Despite being given a four-run lead to play with, that ended up not mattering much as Elder was all over the place (with the second runner reaching via hit-by-pitch) and then a wild pitch moved both of those runners into scoring position. Elder eventually got out of the inning by only giving up a single run thanks to a couple of ground balls that he induced."
"Jonny DeLuca led off the second inning with a double and made it home on another fielder's choice RBI that cleared the bases. The bases were soon busy again, as Elder ended up surrendering a walk, a single and then an RBI single that made it a 5-3 game at that point."
"Elder ended his day on a high note by re-entering the contest during the third inning and only surrendering another walk while getting through his only scoreless inning of the day. With that being said, a line of 3.1 IP, 6 H, 3 BB, 2 K and 5 R."
Bryce Elder delivered a poor pitching performance for the Atlanta Braves against the Tampa Bay Rays in spring training at Charlotte Sports Park. Despite starting with a four-run lead, Elder surrendered five runs while recording only 3.1 innings pitched. His outing was marked by control issues, including three walks, two hits, and a wild pitch that moved runners into scoring position. The Rays capitalized on Elder's struggles, with key hits and fielder's choice plays driving in runs. Relief pitcher Darius Vines also contributed to the rough day, allowing a three-run home run to Ben Williamson. Elder returned for a scoreless third inning but ultimately finished with an ineffective line.
