Red Sox’s Spring Training: A Rollercoaster of Home Runs and Collisions

On February 27, 2026, the Boston Red Sox faced the Atlanta Braves in a spring training game, resulting in a 15-8 loss. Ronald Acuña Jr. led the Braves with a 2-for-3 performance, including a grand slam, while Mike Yastrzemski added two home runs and three RBIs. The Red Sox had five different players hit home runs, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Braves’ offensive surge. Additionally, outfielders Roman Anthony and Ceddanne Rafaela collided during the game but remained in the lineup, with Anthony singling and Rafaela hitting a 400-foot home run afterward. The Red Sox will look to improve in their next spring training matchup.
