Spencer Schwellenbach gave the Atlanta Braves bullpen a desperately needed breather on Wednesday’s 6-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. He went the distance, pitching a two-run complete game, allowing five hits and no walks while striking out nine. He completed the game in 105 pitches, throwing 76 of those pitches for strikes.<\/p>\n

It’s his first career complete game at any level of professional baseball. He never tossed one in the minor leagues. It’s the first complete game by a Braves pitcher this season. He’s the first Braves pitcher not named Max Fried to go the distance since Bryce Elder pitched a complete-game shutout in 2022. Before that, you have to go back to 2018 when Mike Foltynewicz pitched two of them.<\/p>\n

Once an indicator of a strong outing, especially knowing the Braves history of starting pitching, complete games have become hard to come by.<\/p>\n

His two earned runs allowed came on a solo shot by Rhys Hoskins in the bottom of the second to make the game 3-1 and an RBI double by Eric Haase in the bottom of the eighth inning to make it 6-2. The Braves bats gave Schwellenbach plenty of cushion finish the game. They put up six runs on 10 hits, going 2-for-6 with runners in scoring position. In a tighter game, manager Brian Snitker might have gone to the bullpen to keep them in it.<\/p>\n

However, with the struggles the bullpen has had, particularly over the last week, this was a major moment for them to reset and not have to worry about more than one arm.<\/p>\n

The Braves finally pick up a series win, their first since they took two out of three against the Boston Red Sox in mid-May. A seven-game losing streak mixed into losing 15 of their last 20 games made it hard for a series win to come by.<\/p>\n

It took some things to go absolutely the right way. A complete game was what it took. The Braves head back home with, what should be, a favorable matchup ahead. They host the Colorado Rockies for a three-games series over the weekend. Bryce Elder will be on the bump for a 7:15 p.m. first pitch.<\/p>\n
