Ronald Acuña Jr. went yard twice against the Athletics on Wednesday, marking the 14th time that he has given the Atlanta Braves multiple home runs out of the leadoff spot in his career.
The Atlanta Braves aren't planning to shock baseball ahead of the MLB trade deadline. According to FanSided's Robert Murray, the Braves don't plan to trade anyone who they have under contract beyond this season. That removes the craziest name floated in trade speculation of late: Ronald Acuña Jr.
Acuña helped lead the Braves to a 9-2 win against the Athletics — just their third victory in 13 games — a day after an embarrassing 10-1 series-opening loss. The Braves hit a season-high five homers, with others from Drake Baldwin, Austin Riley and Marcell Ozuna, who hit his first in 22 games, since June 13.
Ronald Acuña Jr. hits two home runs as the Atlanta Braves crushed the Athletics 9-2 . Acuña's first homer was a massive leadoff shot and his second came in the fourth for his 14th career multi-homer game.
