Spencer Strider turned in a strong performance and Ronald Acuña Jr. hit his 17th home run of the season to help the Atlanta Braves to a 4-1 win over the Minnesota Twins.
Strider pitched out of some immediate trouble in the first. He allowed a leadoff single to Edouard Julien and a walk to Max Kepler but worked out of it in a scoreless first. He struck out Donovan Solano to start the second before Joey Gallo tagged him for a solo home run to center to give the Twins a 1-0 lead. Strider got Kyle Farmer to pop out and Ryan Jeffers to line out sharply to avoid any more damage.
