Braves Deal Marlins 5-2 Loss
The exploits of center fielder Ronald Acuna Jr., who is tied for 9th in the NL in runs scored with 71, helped the Atlanta Braves defeat the Miami Marlins, 5-2. Acuna Jr. was 3 for 4 with 3 singles and a walk, while scoring 2 runs. Stephen Strasburg got the win, improving to 15-4. He pitched 5 innings, giving up 7 hits and 2 runs, while striking out 7 and walking 1. Brian Moran got the save, his 22nd in 23 chances.

Atlanta used the bat of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to get the win. The third baseman hammered a 3-run home run in the top of the first inning to put the Braves ahead, 3-0. It was his lone hit in 4 at-bats, but it did its damage.

"I really like what we did out there today," Guerrero Jr. said after the game.

Atlanta is now 72-46, 9 games up in the National League East Division.
