Donaldson, Acuna Jr. homer in Braves' 5-3 win vs Padres

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Josh Donaldson and Dallas Keuchel provide a 1-2 veteran punch on an Atlanta Braves team that's otherwise loaded with young stars.

Donaldson homered twice and drove in four runs, Ronald Acuna Jr. had a 455-foot shot and Keuchel pitched seven strong innings to lead the NL East-leading Braves to a 5-3 victory against the San Diego Padres on Friday night.

Keuchel (3-2) held San Diego to one run and six hits, struck out five and walked four in his fifth start since signing as a free agent on June 7.
