Atlanta Braves Minor League Recap: Acuña Did It Again

Related Topics: Dustin Peterson, Rio Ruiz

Gwinnett could not overcome a poor start by Aaron Blair (5.0IP 9H 5ER 2BB 3K) despite hitting three homers, two by Rio, as they dropped their 61st game of the season. The game got off to a great start as Acuña took the first pitch of the game and deposited it in left field. Two batters later - Rio Ruiz rushed his 12 homer of the season to right center field and Aaron Blair found himself up 2-0 before taking the mound. That 2-0 lead did not last long as the first batter that Blair faced hit a solo shot to lessen the lead to 2-1.
