A.J. Minter got the last two outs of the ninth for the win and Raisel Iglesias earned his fifth save.“If they don’t hold leads and keep us close when we get behind you don’t have an opportunity to do that,” he said. “That’s the most valuable thing they can do is just kind of keep the game in check and give us a chance and they’re really good at it.”
“As a team we just need to come together and play better and finish games,” manager Joe Espada said. “We’ve just got to play cleaner overall.” Acuña put the Braves up 2-1 when he sent the first pitch of the fifth inning to straightaway center field.
