Acuña accounts for all 4 runs as Braves hold off Phillies

ATLANTA (AP) — Ronald Acuña Jr. homered and drove in four runs off Aaron Nola and flashed some fancy defense in right field, lifting the Atlanta Braves to a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night.

The victory was dampened because of a broken right pinky finger sustained by second baseman Ozzie Albies, who appeared to be injured sliding head-first safely into second base in the fourth inning. Albies, a two-time All-Star, could be out several weeks. He just returned from an 81-game absence Friday because of a broken left foot.
