Atlanta Braves starter Kyle Wright added another milestone to his outstanding 2022 season on Saturday.

The right-hander became the first pitcher in Major League Baseball to win 20 games this season after allowing two earned runs in 5.1 innings in the Braves' 6-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Wright entered this season with two career wins (both in 2020) in 21 appearances, including an 0-1 mark with a 9.95 ERA in two starts last year.
