Just a few days after another terrific outing against the San Francisco and further staking his claim as one of the best relievers in the majors, Former UCLA Bruin Jake Bird endured one of the worst outings of his season against the Atlanta Braves on Friday. Before Friday, Bird was boasting a 1.41 ERA and 50 strikeouts in 28 appearances this season. On Friday against the Braves, Bird entered with a 4-1 lead in the bottom of the sixth and immediately gave up a double to Matt Olson. After getting Marcell Ozuna out on a foul fly ball, the right-hander struck out Ozzie Albies and looked like he was about to get out of another inning untouched.
