Stripling gave up three runs (two earned) on six hits and two walks while striking out four Wednesday against Atlanta.
Although this was an ugly outing, considering he threw 76 pitches and didn't finish four frames, Stripling at least avoided the loss thanks to this game going to extra innings. He also was fortunate that the bullpen stranded a couple baserunners for him. Stripling looked good in his first two starts of the year, but this was a surprising step back against a bad team. He'll get a chance for redemption Monday against the Marlins.
