Braves' Strider Honest on Struggles in Return

Strider allowed three earned runs on four hits while striking out six in his 3.1-inning outing. Despite the loss of command, the right-hander didn't hold back in his post-game assessment.

“I’d rather be pitching than hurt, but I don’t want a participation trophy. I’m here to help the team win games. If I can’t, then that’s a problem,” Strider told reporters. His next start is scheduled for next weekend against the Los Angeles Dodgers. ipl-cricket.in
