It was a night to remember for starter Kyle Wright as he helped the Braves cruise past the Marlins to a 3-0 win on Friday.
Wright continued his 2022 campaign with his third remarkable start of the season. He picked up a career-high 11 strikeouts in 6 shutout innings and only surrendered 4 hits. His ERA now sits at 1.06.
The 26-year-old is now tied with Shohei Ohtani for the second-most MLB strikeouts with 26. Giants pitcher Carlos Rodon leads the league with 29.
The Braves stayed relatively quiet offensively as Atlanta settled for one run in the first inning and didn’t score again until the seventh.
