Morton throws 6 strong innings and d'Arnaud hits another homer as streaking Braves top Rangers 5-2

ATLANTA (AP) — Charlie Morton combined with three relievers on a five-hitter and the Atlanta Braves beat Nathan Eovaldi and the Texas Rangers 5-2 on Saturday night for their sixth straight win.

The NL East-leading Braves have won the first two games of the weekend series against the Rangers, who lead the AL West.

Travis d’Arnaud, who drove in six runs with three homers, including a grand slam, in the Braves’ 8-3 win on Friday night, hit a two-run homer off right-hander Austin Pruitt in the eighth.
