Ronald Acuna Jr. had a big grand slam home run for the Braves in the bottom of the second inning. With Atlanta leading 1-0 and the bases loaded, he got a fastball from Pascual Perez and swatted a home run to left-center. It was his 4th home run of the season, and more importantly, it put the Braves ahead, 5-0.

"My job is to throw quality pitches, go as deep as I can, and give us an opportunity," said Niekro.
