ATLANTA -- If Sunday's game between the Pirates and Braves looked oddly familiar, it's probably because the teams played almost the exact same game 11 days earlier.
With a Ronald Acuna Jr. leadoff home run, seven innings of one-run ball from Julio Teheran, and an eighth-inning rally, the Braves topped the Pirates, 5-1, at SunTrust Park in a strikingly similar game to Atlanta's win at PNC Park on Aug. 22.
The win, paired with a Phillies loss, expanded the Braves' National League East lead to four games -- a half-game short of their season-best.
