Braves get swept, 8-1
Briefly

Bryce Elder's performance was detrimental to the Atlanta Braves, as he struggled significantly during the game. Starting with a walk to the first two batters and loading the bases, he conceded a bases-clearing double, putting the Braves down 3-0. Despite a brief offensive response in the second inning, Elder quickly gave up more runs, allowing multiple hits and walks, and ultimately leaving the game down 8-1. Jack Leiter pitched effectively for the opposing team, contrasting sharply with Elder's struggles. The Braves prepare for a series against the Royals afterward.
In the top of the first, Elder walked the first two batters he faced, leading to a bases-loaded situation that resulted in a bases-clearing double, putting Atlanta down 3-0.
Elder's performance continued to falter as he allowed additional runs in the second inning, with Josh Smith homering and increasing the deficit to 5-1.
Elder's struggles culminated in a disastrous third inning, where he allowed multiple hits and walks, leading to a score of 8-1 before being replaced.
Jack Leiter pitched impressively for six innings, allowing only three hits and striking out seven, providing a stark contrast to Elder's struggles.
