Braves pitcher Alex Wood continued his recent success with another dominant outing on Sunday. However, he was not backed by the Atlanta bats and was charged with his first loss of the season in a 2-1 defeat to the Nationals.

Wood (1-1) allowed a run-scoring infield single to Jayson Werth and a solo home run to Ian Desmond for his only blemish of the afternoon. He surrendered two runs on four hits and no walks while striking out four over seven innings pitched.

Wood has allowed just three runs over 14 innings pitched. He will search for his second win of the season Saturday at home against Washington again.
