The Arizona Diamondbacks hit the road to face Atlanta ace Spencer Strider in the Atlanta Braves home opener.
After a breakout season in 2023, Atlanta Braves right-hander Spencer Strider (0-0, 3.60 ERA) makes his first start at home today as they welcome in the defending National League champion Arizona Diamondbacks to Truist Field. The Diamondbacks will start 26-year-old southpaw Tommy Henry (0-1, 11.25 ERA) who got touched for five earned runs in four innings of work in a loss to Colorado on Saturday in his first career appearance against the Braves.
