Record: 45-54, Pace 74-88
There is an old adage in baseball, “Momentum is only as good as the next day’s starter” , and that was true tonight in Atlanta. A lackluster performance by Madison Bumgarner and the position players behind him ran into the excellent pitching of Atlanta Braves starter Kyle Wright, who stymied the Diamondbacks offense for the better part of 7 innings in a 5-2 Braves victory, picking up his league leading 13th win.
Bumgarner gave up a solo home run to Austin Riley in the first inning, his 29th of the year, staking the Braves to a 1-0 lead.
