Albies homers from both sides of the plate in 6-1 win over Pirates

It’s always a fun night when the game-winning run scores in the first inning. That was just a nice, calm Saturday afternoon baseball game. The Braves got a run on the first pitch they saw courtesy of Ronald Acuña Jr.’s 22nd career lead-off home run, added another run in the first inning and coasted behind Bryse Wilson to a 6-1 victory over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

That was the kind of game you could just sit outside on the porch and chill out to while listening on the radio. It wasn’t like last night where you needed to see the 20-run onslaught with your own eyes or most other games where it’s stressful and you want to see it.
