"In North Port, Strider faced a lineup full of Boston Red Sox minor leaguers. He threw five innings and surrendered a run. His fastball touched 96MPH, but he stayed around 93-95MPH."
"In Fort Myers, Reynaldo López and the Braves took on the Boston Red Sox, where they fell 4-3. López tossed a long 3.2 innings, giving up three runs on five hits. He walked two and struck out six."
"As Opening Day nears, the Braves will likely feel encouraged by Strider's steady progress while hoping López can sharpen his command in his final exhibition outings."
