He struck out three.Schwellenbach went 1-2-3 through the opening frame before surrendering a leadoff homer to Spencer Horwitz to open the second.

The 24-year-old would still make it through five frames for the 15th time in 17 starts this season, though not before giving up a season-high 10 hits. It also marked the fourth time on the campaign that Schwellenbach has coughed up two or more home runs in an outing, and he's now given up multiple runs in six of his last seven starts.

Braves' Spencer Schwellenbach: Quality start at Colorado
Spencer Schwellenbach allowed two runs on six hits and two walks while striking out seven over six innings in a no-decision versus the Rockies on Sunday.Schwellenbach was initially expected to be skipped for this start, but Atlanta changed plans to keep him on turn this time.

Schwellenbach is now at a 3.95 ERA, 1.06 WHIP and 77:12 K:BB through 70.2 innings over 12 starts in the majors. The 24-year-old is at a total of 115.2 innings across all levels this year after throwing just 65 innings in 2023, so it's still possible his workload gets trimmed back at some point. Consider him tentatively penciled in to make his next start on the road versus the Angels.
