Acuña homers for first time since return, but Braves lose 6-3

Ronald Acuña Jr. hit his first home run since July and did so in incredibly fascinating and entertaining fashion. Unfortunately, his homer ended up getting overshadowed on the night by a woeful sixth inning on the mound for the Braves — one that derailed their bullpen night and contributed to a 6-3 loss to Milwaukee.

The word of the night was “frustration” and things got started on the wrong foot for the Braves when Jesse Chavez took the mound. The big hope was that Chavez would be able to deliver two, maybe even three innings of good work for the Braves.
