Tuesday’s tough start a learning experience for Kyle Wright

The Atlanta Braves saw their two-game winning streak come to an end Tuesday night with a 9-4 loss to the Boston Red Sox. Boston came into the game having lost five straight and eight of 10 overall, but were able to put up six runs in the second inning on Braves starter Kyle Wright.

Wright allowed two soft singles to Alex Verdugo and Trevor Story. A walk and another single by Christian Vasquez made it 1-0. He then jumped ahead of Jackie Bradley Jr. 0-2, but walked him to force in a run. Two batters later, Rafael Devers delivered the big blow with a grand slam to the Braves bullpen in right center on the first pitch he saw from Wright.
