The Atlanta Braves cranked three more home runs in a 6-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates Saturday giving them 10 homers in their last two games. Despite their persistent at times offensive struggles, the Braves lead the majors by a wide margin with 75 home runs. Ronald Acuña Jr. hit the first pitch of Saturday’s game over the wall for his 22nd career leadoff bomb and his majors leading 15th of the season. Ozzie Albies accounted for the other two homers giving him three in two days.
Bryse Wilson was recalled from Gwinnett to make Saturday’s start and turned in a great effort allowing five hits and one run over 6 2/3 innings.
