Ronald Acuna Jr. got things started with a solo shot in the first inning as the Braves cruised to a 9-2 road win over the Athletics.

Atlanta Braves star right fielder Ronald Acuna Jr. was back in the starting lineup for Wednesday night's road game against the Athletics one night after being scratched due to lower back tightness.

X-rays were negative for a broken bone, so the A's were relieved that Wilson shouldn't be out of the lineup long.
