Braves pitcher Alex Wood got his season started off well Tuesday, tossing seven innings of one-run ball in a 5-2 win over the Brewers.
Wood allowed a leadoff home run to Carlos Gomez, but found himself and kept the Brewers off the board from then on. He allowed five hits and walked three batters, while striking out five and throwing 55 of 93 pitches for strikes en route to the win.
Wood made the majority of his appearances as a rookie out of the bullpen, but injuries have cleared up a spot in the rotation to open the season. The 23-year-old might make his next start Sunday against the Nationals.
