CLEVELAND (AP) — Ronald Acuña Jr.’s two-run double highlighted Atlanta’s five-run rally in the ninth inning as the Braves stormed back to beat the Cleveland Indians 8-7 in the second game of a doubleheader Saturday night and gain a split.The Braves trailed 7-0 after two innings but chipped away late and stopped a four-game losing streak.Cleveland won the opener 8-4 behind Corey Kluber’s strong outing.Acuna ripped his double to left on the second pitch from Cody Anderson Jonathan Lucroy Jersey , Cleveland’s third reliever in the ninth and a pitcher seeking his first big league save. The Braves also got a two-run single by Ozzie Albies and a bases-loaded walk to Freddie Freeman in the inning before Acuña,the budding star, came through after going hitless in his previous six at-bats.Luke Jackson (2-0) pitched the eighth, and A.J. Minter struck out the side in the ninth for his second save.Before Atlanta’s comeback, the Indians had welcomed back All-Star Francisco Lindor, who finally made his season debut. Lindor returned after missing 19 games with an ankle injury, and went 1 for 5 with a run scored. More importantly, the talented shortstop was back atop Cleveland’s lineup and his presence had an immediate effect.The Indians scored seven runs in their first two at-bats against Touki Toussaint, whose first start this season couldn’t have gone much worse. The right-hander gave up six hits, hit three batters and dropped the Braves into a deep, early hole.Trevor Bauer kept them there for nearly seven innings.He allowed only three hits — two by Tyler Flowers — in 6 1/3 innings and threw a season-high 120 pitches while making Atlanta’s hitters guess what was coming next. Bauer has allowed four earned runs or fewer in his last 58 starts http://www.rockiesfanproshop.com/authentic-chad-bettis-jersey , the majors’ longest streak since Hall of Famer Greg Maddux did it for 106 straight outings from 1991-94.Dansby Swanson’s two-run homer in the seventh got things for the Braves, who then sent 11 batters to the plate in the ninth.Lindor could barely contain his excitement before the game, expressing his gratitude at playing again.“I miss my teammates, I miss the game,” he said. “I miss the things within the game. It’s an honor. It’s a privilege to be healthy. It’s a blessing, and I ain’t taking it for granted.”After receiving a boisterous ovation as he stretched while walking slowly to the plate, Lindor struck out in his first at-bat of 2019. An inning later, he singled sharply to right-center and scored on Ramirez’s base hit. Lindor is wearing a brace on his ankle, which has slightly altered his gait but his boyish enthusiasm remains unchanged.Jose Ramirez hit a two-run single and Jake Bauers added a two-run double during Cleveland’s five-run outburst in the second, which was aided by Toussaint hitting Leonys Martin — for the second straight time — and nailing Carlos Gonzalez.In the opener, Kluber bounced back from one of his worst outings in recent years by working seven innings. The right-hander didn’t get out of the third in his previous start DJ LeMahieu Jersey , when he walked a career-high five and gave up two homers in a no-decision.TRAINER’S ROOMBraves: Acuña stayed in the opener after being hit on the left elbow by Kluber in the third. Acuña also slid awkwardly while catching Allen’s sinking liner in the same inning.Indians: Injured starter Mike Clevinger has elected not to undergo surgery on an upper back strain, a procedure that could sideline him for three months. Francona said the right-hander will undergo another MRI and the results will determine when he can resume throwing.UP NEXTAtlanta’s LHP Max Fried (2-0, 0.92 ERA) will start the nationally televised three-game series finale against RHP Shane Bieber (2-0, 1.71 ERA), who has limited opponents to a .147 average in five appearances.

The first game of spring training isn’t for another several days, but the Rockies have a lot to be excited about. They are coming off back-to-back playoff appearances, a first for the franchise. They are hoping to go for a third in 2019. They’ve got top prospect Brendan Rodgers http://www.rockiesfanproshop.com/authentic-chad-bettis-jersey , who’s got the versatility to fill in at either shortstop or second base. He’s got power, speed, and defensive ability that the Rockies are looking forward to. He was number ten on MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 prospects. Another player to watch is more of a veteran: Michael Saunders. The outfielder signed a minor league deal with the Rockies, and he is one who is likely to provide some consistency for the team. He could prove to be a good bat in the outfield. Next up is prospect Tyler Nevin. The infielder has worked his way impressively through the minor leagues, and he could just prove to be someone the Rockies want on the roster. Another minor league deal was struck with catcher Brett Nicholas. The catcher position in Denver is something of an issue, as many assumed the offseason would see a big move there, but nothing came. Nicholas could be someone to watch out for if he can impress in spring training. Finally, there’s pitcher Peter Lambert. He was drafted in 2015 and could prove to be useful for the Rockies. Spring training is the time for these players to show what they can do. Out of options, Tapia must deliver in 2019 | Rockies.comRaimel Tapia had some big moments in 2018, none bigger than the pinch hit home run against the Diamondbacks. He was relatively quiet in the season after a more impressive 2017. However, as it looks like the Rockies won’t re-sign Carlos Gonzalez Todd Helton Jersey , Tapia stands a good chance for some playing time. This is good news for him, as he is out of minor league options. Bud Black is really looking to him to perform in the time he is around. He plays best at center, so he could see some playing time as a defensive replacement for Ian Desmond. In other Rockies news, Ryan McMahon has been working on his swing. He’s not necessarily changing the swing itself, but working on hand position and such. This could potentially help him utilize his power even more.Mark Reynolds returns to Rockies ready to embrace role coming off bench | Denver Post ($)Mark Reynolds recently signed a minor league deal with the Rockies, and he has emphasized that he’s stayed in shape in the offseason. With this return, Reynolds is optimistic, as he is already familiar with the organization. He was a true bench player for the first time last season, starting in far fewer games and occasionally pinch hitting. He’s hoping to contribute to the Rockies returning to the playoffs in this season.
