In what should come as no surprise to anyone who watched Kyle Muller’s first two major-league starts, the Braves intend to keep the talented, towering rookie in the rotation for the time being. And if he keeps pitching as he has so far, he might be here for an extended stay.
“He’s looked really good,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said Tuesday. “He’s earned the right, I think, to keep running with this thing.”
Muller allowed just two hits, one run and four walks with 12 strikeouts in nine innings over his first two starts, both on the road, against the Mets and Reds, during the trip that ended Sunday. The 6-foot-7 left-hander’s next start will be during the series against the Marlins that starts Friday at Truist Park.
