Atlanta Braves News
Max Fried allowed just one run over six innings while Ronald Acuña Jr. launched his 34th home run of the season to help the Atlanta Braves to a 5-3 win over the New York Mets. Atlanta has a six-game lead over the Nationals in the NL East and pushed their lead over New York to nine games with Tuesday’s win.
With a 30-30 season a virtual certainty and with 40-40 in sight, could Ronald Acuña Jr. parlay another strong second half performance into MVP consideration?
The Braves received some good news on Tuesday when it was announced that Austin Riley’s knee injury won’t require surgery.
