Atlanta Braves starter Greg Maddux led his team to victory over the Cincinnati Reds, 8-2. The right-hander was locked-in. The last-place Reds now sit at 65-66.

Who knows how it might've ended, had it not been for Ronald Acuna Jr.? The Atlanta designated hitter had a run-scoring double in the top of the fifth inning to put the Braves on top, 3-1. For the game, Acuna Jr. had 1 double and 1 single in 5 at-bats.

"Sometimes it sounds simple, but you have to go out there and pitch and execute," said Atlanta manager . "Greg pitched his heart out."
