It was a rough night for left-hander Joey Wentz from start to finish. In his second start for the Atlanta Braves, he allowed four runs, three earned, over 4 1/3 innings pitched. All came on just four hits and a walk. He allowed a home run, an RBI double and a sac fly. To add insult to injury, a runner charged to him scored on an RBI double as well.
He’s had one solid start and one tough one. Neither time has he been stretched out enough to give them innings. The Braves just haven’t been able to find any fill-in starters who consistently get the job done.
