A Tough Loss at Home for the Braves

Our bats had a slow start, but Ronald Acuña Jr. gave us something to cheer about in the third inning. His double to center field was swiftly followed by a single from Jurickson Profar that brought Acuña Jr. home, putting the Braves on the scoreboard.
It was brief, but it momentarily lifted our spirits and evened up the vibes in the stands.Cubs Pull Away with Costly Errors
