The Atlanta Braves secured a strange 5-2 victory over Chicago on Friday. Atlanta pitcher Kyle Wright hit four Cubs batters but still departed the game with his team in the lead. The unusual win concluded when Will Smith, recently called up, came in to face the bottom of the ninth inning with the bases loaded and managed to strand all three runners, preserving the narrow Atlanta advantage.
