The visiting Atlanta Braves scored in four consecutive innings to snap the Arizona Diamondbacks' six-game winning streak with a 5-2 victory in Phoenix on Saturday night.
Braves right-hander Spencer Strider, who leads the majors in strikeouts, added another seven to his total, while Ronald Acuna Jr. paced Atlanta's offense by going 2-for-5 with a homer and a double.
Braves catcher Sean Murphy and Diamondbacks first baseman Emmanuel Rivera traded leadoff doubles in the second inning but neither scored. Acuna laced a double and collected his NL-leading 24th steal as Diamondbacks starter Ryne Nelson and third baseman Josh Rojas failed to react in time when Acuna bolted for third base. Austin Riley's sacrifice fly knocked in Acuna to open the scoring.
