DENVER — Two pitches into his 17th start of the season, Alex Wood's outing was washed away. Wood didn't come back out after another long rain delay at Coors Field, and the Colorado Rockies did just enough against the Atlanta bullpen to beat the Braves 5-3 on Thursday night. A rainstorm came through just as the bottom of the first inning was getting under way, sending the players and fans scurrying for shelter.
