Braves starting pitcher Alex Wood pitched around some wildness and lasted long enough to get the 2-0 win over the Indians Tuesday.
Wood walked four batters in his first three innings of work, but was able to pitch around them each time, en route to 5 2/3 scoreless innings. He threw 62 of 105 pitches for strikes before being pulled from the game,w while allowing five hits and striking out five batters.
This was the first time in his last six starts Wood has not thrown a quality start. Despite falling just short, he lowered his ERA to 2.27 in 63 1/3 innings. Wood is 3-2, winning each of his last three decisions. His next start is scheduled for Sunday against the Marlins.
