Tuesday night, all-world right fielder Ronald Acuña Jr. stepped up to the plate and on the very first pitch of the game, took Minnesota Twins pitcher Joe Ryan deep. Acuña Jr. would hit two home runs on the night and the Atlanta Braves did not look back, cruising to a 6-2 victory in front of a sold out Truist Park.
The Braves are now 26-15 at home, the best home record in the National League.
In addition to Ronald’s two homers, Austin Riley, Michael Harris II and catcher Sean Murphy each hit home runs as the Braves scored their six runs in the first two innings.
