Ronald Acuña Jr. hit a grand slam to become the first MLB player to have 30 homers and 60 steals in the same season, and the Atlanta Braves edged the Dodgers 8-7 in a wild series opener.
Sports agent Scott Boras clarified comments made in a story by USA Today on Cody Bellinger during the 2021 and 2022 seasons with the Dodgers.Acuña helped the MLB-leading Braves build a big, early lead, clobbering a grand slam off Dodgers starter Lance Lynn to punctuate the Braves’ six-run rally in the top of the second.
“Just look at his stats and it’s self-explanatory, as far as how dynamic he is,” said Betts, who entered the night neck-and-neck with Acuña in the MVP race. “He changed the game today for sure.”Three innings later, though, Betts provided his own resounding answer. “He did most of the heavy lifting for me,” Betts said of Strider’s high-velocity fastball. “I’m just glad it went over.”With Atlanta leading 8-5 in the bottom of the seventh, Betts went yard again on a first-pitch solo blast off Braves reliever Joe Jiménez.
