Acuña helped lead the Braves to a 9-2 win against the Athletics — just their third victory in 13 games — a day after an embarrassing 10-1 series-opening loss. The Braves hit a season-high five homers, with others from Drake Baldwin, Austin Riley and Marcell Ozuna, who hit his first in 22 games, since June 13.

Atlanta Braves All-Star right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was scratched from Tuesday's lineup against the host Athletics due to lower back tightness. Meanwhile, the Athletics lost All-Star shortstop Jacob Wilson when the rookie was hit on the left wrist by a pitch in the bottom of the first inning.
