Braves News: Acuna advances, but falls to Alonso in HR Derby

BRAVES NEWS

Acuna put on an incredible power display, despite being overshadowed by Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. for much of the evening, and advanced to the semifinals before falling to eventual champion Pete Alonso. Ronnie dazzled with towering home runs to all parts of the ballpark and made an excellent showing in his first Derby appearance.

Freddie Freeman will bat third for the National League, with Ronald Acuna batting ninth. After appearing exhausted following his final round of the Home Run Derby, Acuna May relish the chance to rest before having to swing the bat again.
