As the Braves cruise past the Rangers, Morton pitches six solid innings and D’Arnaud smashes another home run.

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.

Morton (2-0) allowed two runs and four hits with two walks in six innings. Joe Jiménez, A.J. Minter, and Raisel Iglesias each pitched a scoreless inning. Iglesias earned his sixth save in as many chances with a perfect ninth inning.

Luis Guillorme had a run-scoring double, and Matt Olson’s sacrifice fly broke a 2-2 tie in Atlanta’s three-run second inning.

Eovaldi (1-2) allowed three runs and five hits and six walks in 5 1/3 innings.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said before the game he planned a surprise out of the bullpen. The surprise was right-hander Jon Gray, who has started four games this season, entered in relief of Eovaldi in the sixth.
