To fully appreciate the stellar start righty Bryse Wilson gave the Braves in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series, it must be remembered that he may not have made any big league starts this year had Cole Hamels not been shut down during the regular season’s final week. Wilson might have become a somewhat forgotten figure as he spent most of this season at the team’s alternate training site. But his name will be remembered for a long time by those who saw him help the Braves move a win away from the World Series with a 10-2 victory over the...

Everything about the Braves’ 15-3 loss to the Dodgers in Game 3 of the National League Championship Series on Wednesday night was ugly. The drama surrounding this battle quickly faded as Kyle Wright recorded just two outs during Los Angeles’ 11-run first inning. “Obviously [Wright] wanted to go out there and have a great start,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “It didn’t work out....

It was the team’s first game in 16 days after having back-to-back games rescheduled, and it came after only one full practice during the week leading up to the...
