Kyle Wright pitches Braves past Rockies

Kyle Wright threw seven scoreless innings and won his major-league-leading 17th game when the Atlanta Braves beat the visiting Colorado Rockies 3-2 on Wednesday.

The win levels the three-game series and ended Atlanta's three-game losing streak. The Braves remain three games behind the New York Mets in the National League East.

Wright (17-5) allowed five hits, two walks, struck out six and was helped by his defense turning a pair of double plays. Wright won his fourth straight start and for the 10th time in his last 12 starts.

Wright has won 11 games at home.
