SB Nation on MSNBraves bats awaken with five homers in blowout win over AthleticsThe offense didn’t stop there as Matt Olson singled, Austin Riley doubled, and Drake Baldwin smacked a three-run homer over the wall in right-center to make it 4-0 in the blink of an eye. It was the first time all season the Braves scored four runs (or more) in the first inning.
Ronald Acuña Jr. hit two home runs, including a towering blast to lead off Wednesday night's game against the Athletics, and the Atlanta Braves hit a season-high five homers in a 9-2 victory.
In the series opener, it was the A's sending balls all over the park. Lawrence Butler hit two homers -- one inside-the-park -- while Nick Kurtz hit his first career grand slam. Brent Rooker and Max Muncy also hit blasts as the Athletics rolled to a 10-1 win.
ESPN handed out midseason grades for all 30 MLB teams, and spoiler alert, the Braves did not score well. The club received an “F” for its first-half performance, making it one of three organizations (with the Rockies and Orioles) to earn a failing grade.
The Athletics dominate the Braves 10-1 on Tuesday night, fueled by Lawrence Butler’s two home runs, including a leadoff inside-the-park homer.
