Ronald Acuña Jr. made his triumphant return with a solid single, but the Braves’ night spiraled into disaster as they crumbled against the Mets, losing 14-3. A promising early run fueled by Acuña and Ozzie Albies was quickly erased by Lindor’s triple and a two-run homer. The sixth inning became a nightmare as rain fell and reliever Connor Thomas, despite pitching through the eighth, surrendered multiple homers and a torrent of runs. The offense went cold after the first, leaving no chance for a comeback. Still, the Braves maintain a commanding 5.5-game division lead — Acuña finished 1-for-4 with two Ks.
