Kyle Wright tossed the best game of his young career, Adam Duvall delivered a clutch two-run double in the eighth, and the bullpen was stellar as the Braves defeated the Padres by a score of 5-2.
The Braves struck first tonight as Ozzie Albies launched a no-doubter to left in the third inning off MacKenzie Gore, who was impressive in his big league debut. In the fourth, Austin Riley doubled to begin the frame and Marcell Ozuna dropped one down the line to push the lead to 2-0.
In what has become a continually frustrating theme, Wright fell victim to some awful luck in the fifth.
