Wright fans 11, Olson drives in 2 as Braves beat Marlins 3-0

ATLANTA (AP) — Kyle Wright had a career-high 11 strikeouts in six dominant innings, Matt Olson doubled in two runs and the Atlanta Braves beat the Miami Marlins 3-0 on Friday night.

Wright (2-0) allowed four hits with one walk. The right-hander has a 1.06 ERA after three starts. He set a career high in strikeouts for the second straight start, topping nine in five innings at San Diego on April 15.

The Braves led 1-0 before Olson's seventh-inning double down the right field line off Richard Bleier drove in Dansby Swanson and Eddie Rosario. Rosario reached as a pinch-hitter on Brian Anderson's fielding error.

Kenley Jansen pitched the ninth for his fourth save in four chances.

Wright kept Miami hitters off balance by mixing his pitches. Jazz Chisholm fanned on a 96 mph fastball to lead off the game then struck out — again swinging — on curveballs in the third and sixth innings.

Wright struck out the side in the first and fourth innings.

Trevor Rogers (0-3) allowed one unearned run on four hits in five innings. The left-hander regrouped after lasting only 1 2/3 innings, allowing seven runs, in a 10-2 loss to Philadelphia on April 16.

Rogers threw 33 pitches in the first inning and allowed an unearned run following his errant pickoff throw to second base. The ball skipped into center field, allowing Olson to advance to third.

Olson scored when Marcell Ozuna beat out a fielder's choice grounder. Miami unsuccessfully challenged the close play at first base.

Wright retired 11 consecutive batters before hitting Garrett Cooper with a one-out fastball in the sixth. Jorge Soler's soft single to shallow center field moved Cooper to third base. Wright's two-out walk to Jesús Sánchez loaded the bases.
