Braves starter Alex Wood twirled a gem Sunday night against the Nationals, striking out a career-high 12 for win No. 8. The right-hander permitted one run on five hits and three walks over 7 1/3 innings of a 3-1 victory.
Over his last three starts covering 20 1/3 innings, Wood has allowed three earned runs. He owns a 3.08 ERA and a 1.23 WHIP over 117 innings of work. His next start will come Friday at home against Oakland.
