Ronald Acuña Jr. hits his FIRST HOMER hitting 3rd in the Braves order!
And for the first time in his career, Ronald Dun Jr. steps in as the three-hole hitter here in the first inning. He has batted everywhere else, all other eight spots with Austin going down. Snip wanted to put a Cooney maybe give him a few more RBI opportunities. That’s the big thing, right? It’s always been a question mark with Ronald. He has been an excellent leadoff hitter. Instant offense. We talk about it all the time. However, the downside of that sometimes is less opportunities to drive runners in when the bottom of your order is not producing. In previous years for the Braves when things are going really well offensively, he has had those RBI opportunities, but not as many this year. And he socks one high in the air deep to left. That ball is into the Braves bullpen. Ronald Akuna Jr. gives the Braves a one- nothing lead. A towering blast. We found out two things in this series. One, Shawn Murphy can DH and two, Ronald Akuna Jr. can bat third. First time ever in his career. A non-issue. Nothing is different. Another bomb and a big one against the sweeper that did not sweep very much at all. Right in the middle of the plate. A high one, but plenty of distance there into the Braves bullpen. 379 ft for Ronald.
