The Atlanta Braves prevented a home sweep Thursday, but holes in their lineup make it easy for opposing pitchers looking for outs.
Ronald Acuña Jr. continues to carry the Atlanta Braves offense with only sporadic help from Freddie Freeman, Travis d’Arnaud, and Ozzie Albies. Thursday’s win came only after A.J. Minter blew the save and courtesy of a pitcher who walked the bases loaded, then walked in the tying run.
