Schwellenbach Throws First Complete Game for Braves

Spencer Schwellenbach delivered his first career complete game, leading the Atlanta Braves to a 6-2 win over the Milwaukee Brewers and securing their first series victory since mid-May. The 25-year-old right-hander allowed five hits, two earned runs, no walks, and struck out nine on 105 pitches, 76 of them strikes. Schwellenbach’s outing was the first complete game by a Braves pitcher this season and provided critical relief for an overworked bullpen. Ronald Acuña Jr. and Michael Harris II each hit two-run homers to power the Braves' offense. The victory ends a rough patch in which the Braves had lost 15 of their previous 20 games and enhances Schwellenbach’s All-Star candidacy, as he now has a 3.11 ERA over 89.2 innings. The Braves aim to carry this momentum into their upcoming home series.
