Game Summary
Atlanta Braves defeated the Chicago Cubs 6-3. The Braves rallied from a 3-0 deficit by getting three homers and timely offense: Ronald Acuña Jr.’s two-run shot in the sixth began the comeback, Ozzie Albies gave Atlanta the lead with a two-run homer in the seventh, and Drake Baldwin’s two-run blast in the ninth sealed the win. Acuña, Albies and Baldwin drove the offense, combining for three homers and six RBIs. Kevin Gausman delivered a quality start (5.2 IP, two runs, six strikeouts) and the bullpen finished the job, with Didier Fuentes tossing two scoreless innings before Raisel Iglesias closed it out for the save.
