WATCH: Orlando Arcia does some yard work, cuts into the Pirate lead

The Braves are playing catch-up again tonight, but the ball is jumping at PNC Park

Ronald Acuña Jr. opened the game with a homer, and that certainly set a tone. Unfortunately it's been the Pirates who've repeatedly gone to the longball this Tuesday evening, touching up Yonny Chirinos for four of them on the way to a 6-3 lead. But in the sixth inning, it was past time for the Braves to get back to their homer-hitting ways.

Southpaw reliever Ryan Borucki grooved a 95-mph heater right down the pipe, and Orlando Arcia got all of it, sending it out to the deepest part of the ballpark in Pittsburgh and cutting the deficit to 6-4. That's Orlando's 12th jack of the season, and hopefully it sparks a rally.

Atlanta's loaded the bases in the top of the 6th, as Pittsburgh keeps cycling through their bullpen looking for relievers that can get them just one more out to retain this lead. 

The broadcast is available inside Braves Country on Bally Sports South and is available on MLB.TV outside of the broadcast area. The radio call, with Ben Ingram, is available locally on 680 AM/93.7 FM The Fan or outside the Atlanta market on the Atlanta Braves Radio Network or MLB.com.
