    Ronald Acuña Jr. was excited that the Atlanta Braves appeared to be at full strength as they attempt to win a fifth straight division title.

    Not so fast.

    Second baseman Ozzie Albies, one of Acuña's close friends on the team, suffered a broken finger and will miss the rest of the regular season, if not more.

    "Obviously it's great that we got the win — that's the most important thing — but it's really sad that Ozzie hurt himself again," Acuña via a translator. "We need him. Like I said, it's really sad."

    Acuña homered and drove in four runs off Aaron Nola and flashed some fancy defense in right field, lifting the Braves to a 4-3 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Saturday night.
