One day after scoring the tying run in his first Major League game, Ronald Acuna Jr. again had an impact on the Atlanta Braves game on April 26, 2018. Acuna led off the second inning with his first career home run, hit to the second deck. To give the Braves a 2-0 lead. In the sixth inning, he hit his third career hit, a single to shortstop. This baseball entered the game in the top of the seventh inning when Freddie Freeman was at bat Freeman hit this ball for a double, the 1113th hit of his career. The ball stayed in the game for a Nick Markakis lineout and a Kurt Suzuki pop out. Still, the ball was kept in play when Ronald Acuna Jr. came to bat. Acuna hit this ball on the first pitch he saw for his first career double, a blooper into short right field. This hit allowed Freeman to score to give the Braves a 5-4 lead over the Reds and was Acuna’s second career RBI. The Braves held the lead and added two more runs on their way to a 7-4 win. The win kept Atlanta in the hunt in the NL East, with a 14-10 record as they trailed the Nationals by only 1.5 games.
