Wood allowed one run on five hits, he did not walk a batter, and struck out nine over 6.1 innings, but was left with a no-decision in the Braves 3-2 win over Washington in 10 innings Friday night.

It was yet another very strong performance by the Braves young southpaw who now sports a very solid 2.61 ERA over 59-plus innings. With a comfortable lead in the NL East, Atlanta can take the opportunity to gauge his progress, and he is demonstrating his ability and making a statement that he should be considered for a full time rotation spot next year.
