"Ronald Acuña Jr., going 2-for-3 in his plate appearance, not only showed consistent quickness as he picked back up on his base-stealing, but he also collected his first homer of the spring that resulted in a grand slam to bring in Michael Harris II, Jonah Heim and Jorge Mateo, extending the Braves' lead by nine runs (12-3) in the bottom of the third."
"A force that continued to make noise in the Braves' offense was Mike Yastremski, also going 3-for-3 and collecting two homers and three RBI's of his own. This piece seems to be a smart move for the Braves' front office, as his offensive prowess could help move the needle for the team as a whole and continue to put runs on the board."
"Chris Sale is coming off just two innings with electric movement on the mound in his first appearance this past Sunday. In today's matchup, it seems it wasn't as strong a performance, only staying out for 2.2 innings; he gave up three earned runs that included two homers; however, he also collected three strikeouts to end the day."
