The Braves offense got going early to back some strong pitching from Kyle Wright and Touki Toussaint as the Braves downed the Pirates by the score of 6-2.
Kyle Wright got the start for the Braves on Monday and worked through a quick 1st inning including a pair of strikeouts and a lone walk being the only blemish. The second inning went very similar to the first as he gave up a ground ball single and struck out another two batters. Wright’s third inning was less smooth as he gave up some baserunners who Jesse Biddle inherited and allowed to score, but five strikeouts in three innings when he didn’t have his best command is not too shabby.
