Adam Duvall doubled home two runs in the eighth inning to help the Atlanta Braves snap a two-game skid with a 5-2 win over the San Diego Padres. Kyle Wright went head to head with Padres prospect MacKenzie Gore on the mound allowing two runs while striking out nine. The Braves bullpen slammed the door for the remaining four innings with Kenley Jansen picking up his first save in an Atlanta uniform.

Wright’s long-awaited breakout may finally be happening.
Also, has Major League Baseball been messing with the baseball again?
Wright tossed six scoreless innings in his debut start against the Reds. He will look to keep that going for the Braves Friday in San Diego.
