Ronald Acuña Jr homered and Dansby Swanson drove in three runs as the Atlanta Braves defeated the Colorado Rockies 8-6 Monday night at Coors Field. Julio Teheran got knocked around allowing six runs over five innings but Atlanta’s bullpen came through with four scoreless innings to make the lead stand up.
