Ronald Acuña Jr. homers

The Philadelphia Phillies and Atlanta Braves rivalry is in full swing with Zack Wheeler tossing a barb at Ronald Acuna Jr.
The 200th home run was just the latest reminder of Acuña’s prowess. He became the fastest player in MLB history to reach 200 home runs and 200 stolen bases, doing so in 904 career games. It took Alfonso Soriano 929 games to reach the milestone.
For Maria, however, the night still had one special moment to celebrate. Her husband’s 15th homer was one of the brightest points in an otherwise frustrating night for Atlanta.
After an up-and-down season, Acuña's bat is heating up exactly when the Braves need it most — and exactly when history says it should.
