Braves pitcher Alex Wood turned in a strong start Friday against the Rangers.
Wood allowed one run on four hits over seven innings. He struck out nine and walked two during the outing. Wood was solid to open the contest, tossing five scoreless frames at the start of the game. He allowed his only run in the sixth inning. After a double and single put runners on first and third, Wood gave up a run-scoring groundout. He was able to escape the inning without giving up any additional runs.
Wood left the contest with the score tied 1-1, giving him a no-decision. He’ll take on the Nationals in his next start.
