Ronald Acuna Hits Fourth Home Run of Season in Loss to Cubs
7 years agoAtlanta Braves rookie outfielder Ronald Acuna launched his fourth home run of the year in the eighth inning to give the Braves a short-lived lead before their bullpen blew it in the ninth in Tuesday's loss to the Cubs. In just 19 games so far this year, Acuna has amassed 10 extra-base hits. While his 27 percent strikeout percentage does leave room for improvement, it's tough to ignore what the 20-year-old outfielder has done for Atlanta so far. If he can keep hitting like this, he will continue providing counting stats from the No. 2 spot in the Braves potent offense. He needs to be owned and started everywhere.
