Braves beat Marlins 5-4; Acuña carted off with leg injury

MIAMI (AP) – Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. was carted off the field in tears with an apparent right leg injury during Atlanta’s 5-4 win over the Miami Marlins on Saturday. Acuña landed awkwardly on his right leg after jumping on the warning track in right field to try to catch a drive from Jazz Chisholm Jr. in the fifth inning. He slammed into the outfield wall and crumbled on the warning track, immediately grabbing toward his right knee while Chisholm sprinted out an inside-the-park homer. The 23-year-old Acuña did not put any weight on his right leg and had to be helped to a cart before being taken from the field. No further details on the extent of the injury were immediately available. Freddie Freeman had a two-run homer and an RBI single, while Dansby Swanson and Austin Riley ripped doubles as the first three Braves reached base off All-Star pitcher Trevor Rogers (7-6) in the fourth inning. Atlanta has won three straight over Miami. Max Fried (6-5) gave up three consecutive hits after Acuña was injured. He went five innings with five strikeouts and allowed nine hits. PHILLIES 11, RED SOX 2 BOSTON (AP) – Jean Segura and Alec Bohm homered, and Philadelphia snapped Boston’s nine-game home winning streak.

The Phillies then broke it open with eight runs in the eighth, earning their fourth win six games. Segura finished with three hits and three RBIs. Rhys Hoskins and Bryce Harper each hit a two-run double, and Ronald Torreyes had three hits. Bailey Falter (1-0) pitched two hitless innings for his first major league victory. Xander Bogaerts hit a solo homer for Boston, which lost for just fourth time in 15 games. Red Sox reliever Josh Taylor’s streak of scoreless appearances ended at 26 games. GIANTS 10, NATIONALS 4 SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – Brandon Crawford had three hits, including his 18th home run, and San Francisco routed Washington.

ATHLETICS 8, RANGERS 4, 11 INNINGS ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) – Jed Lowrie hit a tiebreaking RBI single in the 11th inning after an earlier home run and Oakland beat Texas.

Wendelken (2-1), the sixth Oakland pitcher, worked both extra innings as the A’s won for the third time in nine games. There were five solo homers before the game went to extra innings, with both teams having back-to-back shots. Texas’ Adolis Garcia and Joey Gallo homered in a span of three pitches in the first.
