With Ian Anderson making an incredibly impressive debut against the Yankees and the Braves powering their way past Gerrit Cole, the Braves were able to pick up a comfortable victory in the first game of their traditional (but not-so-traditional) doubleheader on Wednesday evening.
The last time Ronald Acuña Jr. played in a game, he hit two home runs in the second game of a doubleheader after hitting one in the first game. In his return, Acuña wasted no time in picking up exactly where he left off. He emphatically marked his return to action with an absolutely massive 473-foot dinger off of Gerrit Cole to lead things off and set the tone for the Braves.
