ATLANTA (AP) — Ronald Acuña Jr. homered for the seventh time in 11 games, Eddie Rosario went deep and drove in three runs and the major league-leading Atlanta Braves beat the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-2 on Friday night.The Braves (92-48) have won two straight following a three-game skid. Atlanta took a 4-0 lead in the third on soft hits — Rosario’s RBI single, Travis d’Arnaud’s two-run single and Orlando Arcia’s RBI single. Arcia had the hardest-hit single at 83.1 mph. D’Arnaud’s dropped in front of left fielder Jack Suwinski at 71 mph.“It’s kind of a testament to how far we’ve come as a team,” manager Brian Snitker said. “Last year we would’ve struck out three times. If you put the ball in play, something good can happen. A lot of teams do that to us. Even though we’re a power team, if you’re not striking out … I just think it shows our growth as a team and offense.”Acuña put that trend to rest in the fourth, driving his 35th homer 455 feet to c...
