DENVER — The Atlanta Braves will get some relief from their current downward spiral with the All-Star break. The damage has been done, though. A day after the Braves lost closer Jason Grilli to a ruptured Achilles’ tendon, starter Alex Wood labored through 5 2-3 innings and the bullpen collapsed behind him as the Colorado Rockies beat Atlanta 11-3 on Sunday to complete a four-game sweep.
