The Atlanta Braves They got back on track where they left off on Friday by keeping their bats fired, allowing them to defeat the Pittsburgh Pirates 6-1 again. The first race of the game was courtesy of the Venezuelan Ronald Acuña Jr., who took the lead in home runs in Major League Baseball (MLB).
Just on the first pitch from the bottom of the first inning, Acuña wasted no time crashing the ball that went out at 108.5 miles per hour of his bat into left-center field, his 15th of the season in the Major Leagues.
Thanks to Saturday’s hit, the native of La Guaira, Venezuela, surpassed Cuban Adolis García and Japanese Shohei Ohtani, who were left with 14 homers.
For the Venezuelan outfielder, this was his third home run opening an inning and the 22nd in his career under the same condition, a figure that is a record for the franchise.
