MIAMI (AP) – Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. had two hits, walked twice and drove in a run as the Atlanta Braves beat the Miami Marlins 7-0 on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Drake Baldwin homered while Marcell Ozuna hit an RBI double and singled for the Braves, who have won seven of nine after falling to a season-low 10 games under .500 on June 10.<\/p>\n

Braves starter Grant Holmes (4-6) overcame control problems and pitched 5 2\/3 innings, giving up five hits while walking five and striking out five. Enyel De Los Santos, Dylan Lee and Rafael Montero completed the shutout.<\/p>\n

Acu\u00f1a, the 2023 NL MVP, has reached safely in 25 of 26 games since being reinstated from the injured list on May 23.<\/p>\n

Atlanta struck quickly against Miami starter Eury P\u00e9rez (0-2) with Ozuna\u00b4s run-scoring double in the first. Acu\u00f1a drew a leadoff walk then raced home from first when Ozuna hit a line drive to the right-field corner.<\/p>\n

Acu\u00f1a\u00b4s RBI double and Austin Riley\u00b4s run-scoring single in the fifth made it 3-0. Baldwin broke it open with a three-run drive off Marlins reliever Josh Simpson in the ninth.<\/p>\n

P\u00e9rez gave up three runs and four hits while striking out six in 4 2\/3 innings in the right-hander\u00b4s third start since undergoing Tommy John surgery in April 2024.<\/p>\n

Before the game, the Braves placed reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale on the 15-day injured list because of a fractured left rib cage.<\/p>\n

After Holmes walked three to load the bases with two outs in the fifth, he struck out Agust\u00edn Ram\u00edrez to end the threat.<\/p>\n

Acu\u00f1a has reached safely multiple times in 11 straight games.<\/p>\n

RHP Bryce Elder (2-3, 4.45 ERA) will start the series finale for the Braves on Sunday against Marlins RHP Sandy Alc\u00e1ntara (3-8, 6.88).<\/p>\n
