PHILADELPHIA — Tucked in the corner of the Atlanta Braves clubhouse, Ozzie Albies couldn’t button the cuff of his shirt. He called over Ronald Acuna Jr., and the two struggled for about a minute before completing the task.

The 20-year-old Acuna doubled twice and reached base four times to cap a successful first week in the majors, while the 21-year-old Albies hit the game’s first pitch for a homer and added a two-run double in the Braves’ 10-1 rout of the Philadelphia Phillies on Sunday. READ MORE>
