(AP Photo/Alexandra Rodriguez) MIAMI (AP) — Ronald Acuña Jr. had two hits, walked twice and drove in a run as the Atlanta Braves beat the Miami Marlins 7-0 on Saturday. Drake Baldwin homered while Marcell Ozuna hit an RBI double and singled for the Braves, who have won seven of nine after falling to a season-low 10 games under .500 on June 10. Advertisement Braves starter Grant Holmes (4-6) overcame control problems and pitched 5 2/3 innings, giving up five hits while walking five and striking out five.

Atlanta struck quickly against Miami starter Eury Pérez (0-2) with Ozuna's run-scoring double in the first. Acuña drew a leadoff walk then raced home from first when Ozuna hit a line drive to the right-field corner. Acuña's RBI double and Austin Riley's run-scoring single in the fifth made it 3-0. Baldwin broke it open with a three-run drive off Marlins reliever Josh Simpson in the ninth. Advertisement Pérez gave up three runs and four hits while striking out six in 4 2/3 innings in the right-hander's third start since undergoing Tommy John surgery in April 2024. Before the game, the Braves placed reigning NL Cy Young Award winner Chris Sale on the 15-day injured list because of a fractured left rib cage. Key moment After Holmes walked three to load the bases with two outs in the fifth, he struck out Agustín Ramírez to end the threat. Key stat Acuña has reached safely multiple times in 11 straight games. Up next RHP Bryce Elder (2-3, 4.45 ERA) will start the series finale for the Braves on Sunday against Marlins RHP Sandy Alcántara (3-8, 6.88). ___ More AP baseball:

Here's why Braves must upgrade from Nick Allen at shortstop before trade deadline
Image Source: Getty The Atlanta Braves began the 2025 season with dreams of winning the World Series. Now, their playoff chances have fallen from 93 percent to just 26 percent. The team isn't hitting enough home runs, even with a strong lineup. With the trade deadline a month away, the Braves need to make changes. Swapping shortstop Nick Allen for a better hitter could help save their season. Braves need a better hitter at shortstop to improve their offense Nick Allen is a great defender, making 12 outs above average this season. His defense is one of the best in the National League, only behind Bobby Witt Jr. But, his hitting is a problem, with just a .228 batting average in 56 games. The Braves need more runs, and Allen's stats show he struggles at the plate. — luzthegoosey (@luzthegoosey) His expected stats, like xwOBA and xBA, are very low, meaning he doesn't help the team score. While his defense is amazing, the Braves need a shortstop who can hit better. A stronger hitter could boost the team's offense and help them reach the playoffs. With the trade deadline coming soon, the Braves should find a new shortstop to fill this role on an immediate basis. Also Read: MLB insider claims Braves are risking long term future by refusing to trade Marcell Ozuna before deadline Could a new player like Bo Bichette fix Atlanta's shortstop problem Recent posts on X mention Bo Bichette, a Toronto Blue Jays shortstop, as a possible trade target. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Forget Furosemide, Use This Household Item To Help Drain Edema Fluid WellnessGuide Learn more Undo Bichette is a free agent after this season and could be available if Toronto doesn't make the playoffs. He's hitting .269 with eight home runs and 38 RBIs in 66 games. His offense is much better than Allen's, though his defense isn't as strong. Bichette could be a great fit for the Braves, helping them score more runs. However, other teams also want him, and Toronto might keep him if they're close to the playoffs. The Braves could also look at the 2025 MLB draft for a new shortstop. For now, they need to act fast to find a better-hitting shortstop before the trade deadline ends.

Ksana Health and Children's Wisconsin aim to improve paediatric mental health care
US-based digital mental health solution provider Ksana Health has partnered with Children's Wisconsin, a paediatric healthcare provider in Wisconsin, with the aim to improve the delivery of children's mental health care. The collaboration introduces Vira, a digital behavioural health care platform developed by Ksana Health using the Pediatric Primary Care Integrated Behavioral Health model. Vira uses artificial intelligence to support evidence-based therapeutic principles and includes smart automations to enhance clinical workflows. This aims to reduce the burden on healthcare providers and offer tailored mobile interventions to support children and their families' health. Children's Wisconsin Mental and Behavioral Health Research director Dr Michael Gaffrey said: "We see enormous potential in digital mental health tools to empower clinicians and families with continuous, data-driven behavioural support. "This collaboration marks a significant step forward in realising a sustainable, effective integration of mental health services within paediatric primary care." Ksana Health and Children's Wisconsin said the partnership underscores their focus on enhancing paediatric behavioural healthcare. The partners aim to emphasise accessibility, adherence to evidence-based practice, and the long-term sustainability of integrated mental health care. Ksana Health CEO Dr Nick Allen said: "Our goal is to revolutionise paediatric behavioural health by making effective, personalised interventions accessible precisely when youth and families need them. "Together, we're committed to addressing the mental health crisis facing today's youth with practical, scalable solutions that work." In paediatric primary care settings, where 90% of children are seen each year, there are significant opportunities for early identification and treatment of mental health issues. Despite this, many children with mental and behavioural health disorders do not receive the care they need. Addressing this gap has become a system-wide priority for Children's Wisconsin. The health system operates locations in Milwaukee and Neenah, Wisconsin, and claims to be recognised as one of the US' leading paediatric healthcare providers.

Beef drives food inflation up for fourth month in a row
Higher beef and fresh produce prices pushed UK food inflation up for the fourth month in a row. Food price increased 2.8% in the year to May, up from 2.6% in April, according to data from the British Retail Consortium (BRC), which represents supermarkets and other retailers. Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the BRC, said shops were passing on the costs of higher minimum wages and increased employer National Insurance contributions. Nick Allen, of the British Meat Processors Association, told the BBC the price of beef had risen to "record levels" due to strong demand and lower supply. He said competition between supermarkets had previously been keeping the price of beef down, so it was only a matter of time until customers were hit by cost increases. "Its not surprise. The farm price for beef has been going up and up to the point that its now at record levels," Mr Allen said. He warned it was a "real struggle" for the industry to keep up with demand for beef, and claimed that "government schemes have not supported production but environmental schemes instead". The said red meat eaters "may have noticed their steak got a little more expensive" this month. Tomas Maunier co-founder of steak restaurant chain Fazenda, said his firm had passed on about 2% of increased running costs to customers. "Beef in particular has gone up about 20% in the last 12 months. A big chunk of that has happened in the last six but businesses cannot pass it all on to our guests," he added.
