Red Sox, Braves look for improved pitching performances

Field Level Media

The Atlanta Braves are overdue for a good performance from a starting pitcher, and Kyle Wright has been delivering all season.

Wright (13-5, 3.22 ERA) is set to take the mound on the road against the Boston Red Sox in the finale of their two-game series Wednesday night.

The Braves ended a season-high three-game losing streak by winning the series opener 9-7 in 11 innings on Tuesday, but they let four leads evaporate, including two that belonged to starting pitcher Charlie Morton.

In the past six games, Atlanta's starting pitchers have a combined ERA of 6.
