Wright allowed two runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks while striking out eight in seven innings to earn his second straight win in Wednesday night's 9-4 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

Wright has allowed a total of four earned runs in 26.1 innings (1.37 ERA) over his first four starts and is the staff's improbable leader despite being cast its fifth starter when the season began. What was once considered a temporary fill-in role for the injured Eduardo Rodriguez (knee) now has a ring of permanency to it. Rodriguez will have a spot in the rotation when he returns, but it will come at Joe Kelly's expense, not Wright's.
