AI Summary
Connelly Early pitched five innings with two runs allowed and six strikeouts against the Braves, demonstrating solid performance with strong baserunner management.
Early surrendered homers to Drake Baldwin in the first and Michael Harris II in the fourth, but he did a nice job otherwise in stranding five runners. That he's been able to strand 86 percent of his baserunners this year is a big reason why has a 3.21 ERA against a 4.58 FIP and a 4.11 xERA. Early remains a lesser option in mixed leagues, but his matchup against the Royals next week is reasonable.
