After issuing a one-out walk to Cole, Wood encountered a bases-loaded threat that he quieted with a strikeout of Andrew McCutchen. But the Braves left-hander then surrendered consecutive singles to Starling Marte and Jung Ho Kang before being ejected by home-plate umpire Mark Carlson after he completed the top of the fifth.
Cole drew the Braves' ire when he hit Freddie Freeman and Andrelton Simmons with pitches within the first four innings. But the right-hander cruised to his National League-leading ninth win while limiting the Braves to six hits over seven innings with seven strikeouts.
