Austin Riley continued his hot streak while Max Fried was again in complete control as the Atlanta Braves defeated the Pittsburgh Pirates 7-1 Sunday afternoon at Truist Park.
The Braves spotted the Pirates a run in the first. Adam Frazier singled but was gunned down at second by Fried on a bunt attempt by Kevin Newman. However, Bryan Reynolds followed with a double into the left field corner that scored Newman all the way from first to give Pittsburgh a 1-0 lead.
That lead wouldn’t last long. JT Brubaker retired Ronald Acuña Jr.
