Acuña hits homer and Strider fans 13 as Braves’ 4-1 win leaves Rockies with worst 70-game record
Spencer Strider recorded 13 strikeouts in his first win of the season, Ronald Acuña Jr. stayed hot with two hits, including a two-run homer, and the Atlanta Braves beat Colorado 4-1. The loss left the Rockies with the worst record through 70 games in the modern era. Colorado fell to 13-57 and surpassed the 1932 Boston Red Sox, who were 14-56, for the worst 70-game mark since 1901. The resurgent Braves have outscored the Rockies 16-5 in the first two games of the season after setting a scoring high in Friday night’s 12-4 win.
