Yonny Chirinos struggled and the Atlanta Braves came up short again in a 6-5 loss to the Pittsburgh Pirates.
It didn’t take the Braves long to get on the board Tuesday night. After getting brushed back by the first pitch of the game, Ronald Acuña Jr. stepped in and smoked Mitch Keller’s second pitch 448 feet to put Atlanta in front 1-0. That was the 31st time in Acuña’s career that he led off the game with a home run.
