Braves starting pitcher Alex Wood just can't seem to get any help from his teammates recently. Wood was nearly flawless Tuesday against the Marlins, but still ended up with the loss in a 1-0 final.
Wood limited the Marlins to just one run, coming off a fourth-inning single by Casey McGehee. That was pretty much all the Marlins' offense could manage, as they finished with one run on four hits, while Wood struck out a career-high 11 batters without a strikeout in eight innings of work.
Wood has run into some terrible luck to open the season, this season, and is now just 2-3 with a 1.54 ERA. He will look for his fortune to turn around in his next outing, scheduled for Tuesday against the Marlins.
