The first half of the Braves-Marlins day-night doubleheader was headlined by the major league debut of right-hander Touki Toussaint, who has rocketed through the system in 2018 to reach the big club at just 22 years old. He was excellent in his first start, and after getting early run support from Ronald Acuña in the form of a leadoff home run, he settled in to give Atlanta six strong innings, allowing just one run on two hits en route to his first major league victory. Acuña began the game with a homer, and would later add a two-run double and a stolen base to further emphasize just how talented he is, but he was far from finished for the day.
