WATCH: Speed kills as Ronald Acuña Jr. scores first run of the night for Atlanta
In that very Rickey Henderson way, Ronald Acuña Jr. was a run for the Braves in the first inning tonight. Greeting Marlins starter Bryan Hoeing with a double off the bricks in right, the Atlanta right-fielder saw Matt Olson pop out before taking off for third on the first pitch to Austin Riley. Then with a fast man on third and one out, the Fish brought the infield in, leading to...
Ronnie griddied his way home to put the home team ahead 1-0. Once upon a time, it was said about the great Rickey Henderson "Rickey's a run". When a leadoff guy uses his legs to create a run like Acuña just did, that's what that statement means.
The Braves look to take the first two games off Miami after a dominating effort last night. The two clubs are back at it again tomorrow night at 7:20 Eastern, televised by Bally Sports South. The radio call, with Ben Ingram, is available locally on 680 AM/93.7 FM The Fan or outside the Atlanta market on the Atlanta Braves Radio Network or MLB.com.
