Atlanta Braves: Ronald Acuna pimps a single, gets benched

It was another tight game getting started between the Atlanta Braves and LA Dodgers. The visitors were off to a 3-0 start while Max Fried worked to get himself on track.

As the third inning began, the Atlanta offense was having trouble getting itself started up against Dodger spot-starter Tony Gonsolin.

At that point, only Adeiny Hechavarria had managed a safety, but suddenly things started happening as Max Fried himself led off the 3rd with a ringing double high off the tall right field wall at SunTrust Park.

That brought up leadoff hitter Ronald Acuna Jr.
