The Red Sox have now lost four games in a row.Meanwhile, Atlanta Braves’ Ronald Acuna Jr. is getting closer to returning to the team after a serious knee injury last year. On Friday night, he played in back-to-back games for the first time in almost a year, which is a big step in his recovery.Playing for the Braves’ Triple-A team, Gwinnett, he went 0-for-2 but drew two walks, scored twice, and played six innings in right field.
