Braves News: Austin Riley homers again, 2023 draft signees, and more

The Atlanta Braves started the road trip on a high note with a 6-4 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. Here are the highlights:

• Orlando Arcia homered early
• Austin Riley hit his 21st home run of the season

• Kirby Yates made things a bit dramatic in the ninth
• Ronald Acuña Jr. had an unusual 0-for-5 game

The Braves are back in action against the Brew Crew this evening at 6:15 as Allan Winans makes his major league debut.
