The Atlanta Braves avoided a sweep on Sunday with a 7-1 win over the Boston Red Sox. The victory is damped a bit however thanks to a potential serious injury to Ronald Acuña Jr. that he suffered while running out an infield hit in the seventh inning.

Mike Foltynewicz was the story in this game however as he allowed three hits and one run over seven innings. He carried a no-hitter into the sixth and struck out seven while walking three. Folty has now allowed two earned runs or less in 10 of 11 starts this season.
