Wright, Acuna Lead Braves To Easy Win Over Mets
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork/AP) — Kyle Wright allowed only one hit in the best start of his big league career, pitching into the seventh inning to lead the Atlanta Braves past the New York Mets 7-0 on Sunday.
Ronald Acuña Jr. homered off Rick Porcello to break a scoreless tie in the sixth and finished with four RBIs. Travis d’Arnaud added a two-run double for his latest clutch hit against his former team.
Looking for its third straight NL East title, Atlanta began the day with a 2 1/2-game division lead over Miami, which won the opener of its doubleheader against Washington.
Wright went 6 1/3 innings and combined with three relievers on a three-hitter as the Braves took two of three in the series.
