In the midst of a pitcher’s duel, the Braves offense looked for spark in the sixth inning. It came in the form of a hit by pitch.
Atlanta scored three runs after Zack Wheeler hit Ronald Acuna Jr. on the elbow and the Braves took Game 2 to tie the NLDS. Kyle Wright, who led the league in wins, pitched another gem alongside the bullpen to secure a 3-0 shutout.
For a moment, Braves fans wondered if there would even be a Game 2. Heavy rain moved through metro Atlanta and forced a 3-hour rain delay.
