Wright, Atlanta Prevail in Pitchers' Duel
In a low-scoring affair between the Atlanta Braves and the Washington Nationals, pitcher Kyle Wright was the difference between victory and defeat. The Atlanta right-hander earned accolades in the 2-0 Braves win. Atlanta is now 91-51, 3 games up in the National Division.

Wright, a native of Huntsville, Alabama, was dealing all game. He kept Washington hitters off-balance, while giving the Braves 7.2 quality innings. Wright threw 92 pitches, allowing 4 hits and striking out 8.

"I just trusted my stuff," said Wright.
