Didier Fuentes, a Colombian reliever, earned the victory by dominating a dangerous situation in the fifth inning.\n\nFuentes struck out Venezuelan Eugenio Su\u00e1rez with runners on first and third, preserving Atlanta&#8217;s lead and improving his ERA to 0.96.\n\nThe Braves sealed the game with a four-run rally in the sixth inning, with offensive contributions from Mike Yastrzemski and the Dominican Jorge Mateo.\n\nBy Cincinnati, the Dominican Yunior Marte reappeared in the Major Leagues for the first time since 2024, after being called up to the team following Graham Ashcraft&#8217;s injury.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Acu\u00f1a Jr. and Harris II Guide Braves to Victory Over Reds Cincinnati \u2013 Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. demonstrated his offensive power by hitting a home run, leading alongside Michael Harris II the Atlanta Braves&#8217; 8-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds in the start of the series played at Great American Ball Park.
