Acuña's late double rallies Braves, who split with Indians

CLEVELAND (AP) -- Ronald Acuna Jr.'s two-run double highlighted Atlanta's five-run rally in the ninth inning as the Braves stormed back to beat the Cleveland Indians 7-6 in the second game of a doubleheader Saturday night and gain a split.

The Braves trailed 7-0 after two innings but chipped away late and stopped a four-game losing streak.

Acuna ripped his double to left on the second pitch from Cody Anderson, Cleveland's third reliever in the ninth and a pitcher seeking his first big league save. The Braves also got a two-run single by Ozzie Albies and a bases-loaded walk to Freddie Freeman in the inning before Acuna, the budding star, came through after going hitless in his previous six at-bats.
