The Braves hit three solo homers tonight, and the power display at the plate combined with a fantastic outing on the mound from Kyle Wright led to a 3-2 win over the Oakland Athletics — Atlanta’s sixth win in a row.
The night got off to a pretty inauspicious for Kyle Wright, as the first three batters for Oakland all reached base. A wild pitch moved the first two batters into scoring position before Ramón Laureano cashed in both Tony Kemp and Elvis Andrus to make it 2-0 in favor of the A’s. Kyle Wright settled in with a pop out and a double play to end the first inning, and that ended up being by far the most trouble he found himself in all night.
