Sonny Gray
vs
Spencer Strider
The Twins have by far the most strikeouts of any team. Atlanta ranks second in strikeouts per nine (9.64 K/9), a tiny bit ahead of the Marlins (9.57) and Twins (9.56). Out of all qualified pitchers, Strider ranks first in strikeout percentage (39.0%). Pablo López is a distant fifth at merely 30.1%. Joe Ryan is twelfth at 27.4%. If you go by K/9, Strider is at 14.5. There is no one in the 13s or 12s. Ohtani leads the way in the 11s at 11.8. Strider strikes out a ton of batters. Today is a good day for the Twins to shorten up those swings.
Apparently the Twins haven't played in Atlanta for a while because I couldn't find any Atlanta ballpark photos, new or old.
2016 was the last time in the ATL
JOEY GALLO!
The blind squirrel found the acorn!
Strider with ten strikeouts in seven innings, a below average result for him. Strikeout percentage is just barely under though.
