Austin Riley, Kyle Wright lead Braves over Astros, 6-2

The Atlanta Braves continued their good homestand with a 6-2 win over the Atlanta Braves Friday night at Truist Park.

Kyle Wright experienced some arm fatigue after his last start in Boston and was given a few extra days of rest as a result. It didn’t take him long to dial back in. Wright allowed an infield single to Jose Altuve to start the game and then retired seven straight before issuing a one-out walk to Martin Maldonado in the third. He then shattered Altuve’s bat on a grounder to Dansby Swanson who started the 6-4-3 double play to end the inning.
