First homer by a #Braves shortstop this season. Every other team had at least 5 from the position, and 23 teams had 10 or more.

#Braves got no hits in 5 innings vs. rookie Cade Horton, in fact no hits until Albies' leadoff single in 7th. Now they have runners on corners w/ 2 out in 7th after an Ozuna walk chased reliever Ben Brown and Harris grounded into a force against Drew Pomeranz. ATL Trailing 1-0.

Acuña three-pitch strikeout to begin game tonight extends skid to 0-for-18, tied for the longest hitless streak of his career. He's 3-for-32 on the trip including 1-for-24 in past eight games.
