Wisler pleased with abbreviated spring outing

LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. -- Thunderstorms interrupted yet another solid Grapefruit League outing for Matt Wisler on Thursday night.

The Braves right-hander threw 3 1/3 scoreless innings against the Phillies before the game was cancelled due to rain at ESPN's Wide World of Sports complex. He allowed two hits and walked two.

"Three solid innings," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "I thought he pitched really good."

Wisler, Atlanta's projected No. 3 starter, didn't throw on the side after the initial delay, but he said he didn't expect his low pitch count -- he only threw around 30 -- to hinder his progression toward being ready for the regular season.
