Rookie Spencer Strider overcame a rough start, Vaughn Grissom and Dansby Swanson homered and the Atlanta Braves won their seventh in a row, beating the Oakland Athletics 7-3 on Wednesday.
Robbie Grossman, Marcell Ozuna and Ronald Acuña Jr. also drove in runs for Atlanta, which beat Oakland for the 11th straight time dating to 2008."It's been incredible," said Grissom, another rookie."Winning is super fun. These guys, we're all jelling and it's just been unreal."
Strider gave up two runs on three walks and a hit in the first inning before retiring 15 straight batters. The 23-year-old righty allowed only one more hit before leaving after the sixth. Grissom tied the game with a two-run homer off rookie Ken Waldichuk in the fifth. Swanson put Atlanta in front with a solo homer in the sixth.
"I thought Ken did a great job," A's manager Mark Kotsay said."Outside of the two home runs, he really pitched well today."
