Braves fall to split-squad Astros 4-3 despite Acuna homer

Ronald Acuna Jr. connected for his first home run of the spring, but Julio Teheran struggled in his first start of the spring as the Braves fell to the split squad Astros by the score of 4-3.

Julio had a weird first inning of the season. He struck out three batters, but he also gave up a double and then a home run to Derek Fisher which gave the Astros a quick 2-0 lead. The Astros would score another run in the third inning on a throwing error from Freddie Freeman on a play at the plate to make it 3-0.
