The Atlanta Braves ended their weekend on a high note as they took down the Pirates in convincing fashion by the score of 11-3. Michael Harris connected for this second home run of spring training and a bases-clearing double from Ehire Adrianza helped to put the game out of reach.
On the mound, Jared Shuster is making the competition for the last spot in the rotation really interesting. He went almost four innings while striking out five batters which a solo homer being the only real blemish. Shuster's impressive spring has put him squarely in the running for a spot in the Braves' big league rotation. It will be interesting to see how that competition plays out over the next couple of weeks.
