Battery Power on MSNBraves vs Athletics Game Thread: 7/9/2025Once again, the stage is set for a late start in Sacramento. The Athletics have a series in their sights, and the Atlanta Braves have something to prove. Crazy how the tables turn when one would think the opposite of both teams with just the names alone.
In the series opener, it was the A's sending balls all over the park. Lawrence Butler hit two homers -- one inside-the-park -- while Nick Kurtz hit his first career grand slam. Brent Rooker and Max Muncy also hit blasts as the Athletics rolled to a 10-1 win.
ESPN handed out midseason grades for all 30 MLB teams, and spoiler alert, the Braves did not score well. The club received an “F” for its first-half performance, making it one of three organizations (with the Rockies and Orioles) to earn a failing grade.
The Athletics dominate the Braves 10-1 on Tuesday night, fueled by Lawrence Butler’s two home runs, including a leadoff inside-the-park homer.

Atlanta native Butler, an alum of Westlake High, led off the game in electric fashion after hitting a long fly to right center that took a sharp bounce off the wall, as he sprinted around the full diamond for the inside-the-park homer. The Braves have now lost five straight and seven of eight.
