Luckily for them Ozzie Albies brought the power and Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. stole the show on defense. The Braves jumped out to a 6-0 lead against the New York Yankees, who are without Max Fried thanks to a blister. Acu\u00f1a Jr.&#8217;s rope to get Jorbit Vivas out at third got the home crowd buzzing.<\/p>\n<p>Yankees first basemen Cody Bellinger lifted a fly ball deep into right field towards Acu\u00f1a Jr.. The All-Star outfielder ranged over and made an easy catch. Vivas tagged up at second and was jogging to third when Acu\u00f1a Jr. spun around and threw a rope to third base. Nacho Alvarez Jr. caught the ball and tagged Vivas out to end the third inning.<\/p>\n<p>Acu\u00f1a Jr. tipped his hat to the Braves faithful as they applauded their star. Albies provided fireworks on the offensive side of the ball when he hit a three-run home run off of Rico Garcia in the bottom of the third inning.<\/p>\n<p>Braves fans took to social media to react to the highlight. They marveled at Acu\u00f1a Jr.&#8217;s talent in the field, happy to have their leader out on the field.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRonald Acuna Jr is very good at baseball,\u201d was all one fan had to say.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat did I just witness??\u201d said another in shock. \u201cHOOOLLY Acuna Jr with an absolute missle to third!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRonald Acu\u00f1a Jr. may have the best arm baseball has seen since Roberto Clemente,\u201d commented another. \u201cAnd this specific throw may be more impressive than any single one Clemente made. Feels crazy to say that and be 100% serious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is the leader of the atlanta braves, his name is ronald acu\u00f1a jr,\u201d said one Atlanta fan.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAcu\u00f1a Jr. just redefined what a throw looks like, pure precision and power in action,\u201d commented another.<\/p>\n<p>The Braves missed their leader dearly when Acu\u00f1a Jr. was out with a torn ACL. Now that he is back, Atlanta has a chance to re-enter the National League playoff conversation. His throw to get Vivas out and end the Yankees&#8217; inning is the latest in a long string of highlights.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Atlanta Braves started the second half of their season in dominant fashion against the New York Yankees thanks to Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":69653,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[71,44,740],"class_list":["post-69652","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-mlb","tag-atlanta-braves","tag-mlb","tag-ronald-acuna-jr"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.6 -
