The Atlanta Braves suffered a disappointing loss to the Boston Red Sox, falling 5-1. The game began favorably for Atlanta with Ronald Acuña Jr. scoring in an unorthodox manner after a bad hop allowed him to reach home. However, the momentum shifted when Trevor Story hit a two-run homer, putting Boston ahead. Despite some opportunities for the Braves, including baserunners in the fourth, they failed to capitalize as Boston's pitching held strong throughout the game.
"Abraham Toro and Trevor Story combined to form an irresistible pair that helped lead the Red Sox to a 5-1 win over the Braves."
"However, the throw took a bad hop that ate up catcher Carlos Narváez and Acuña scored anyways to make it 1-0 at that time."
"Toro got on with a single and then Trevor Story ambushed Grant Holmes and pulled a slider that was on the inside of the zone and sent it flying into the seats for a go-ahead two-run homer."
"To their credit, Boston's pitching staff bent in this one but they never really broke while the Braves and their fans were left having to grapple with the fact that this was definitely looking like yet another one of those types of nights at the ballpark."
