Braves News: William Contreras powers Braves to victory, Ronald Acuna’s baserunning, more

Saturday was a fun game, as William Contreras hit two nearly identical opposite field home runs, Kyle Wright worked five scoreless innings, and Ronald Acuna did Ronald Acuna things.

Wright was not at his sharpest early on, as he threw over 50 pitches through his first two innings, but he settled in nicely and continued to show his newfound mental fortitude as he battled for five scoreless innings with six strikeouts and only needing 91 pitches to get it done.

Ronald Acuna drew two walks, hit a single, and stole his eighth base of the season. If he picks up the rate at which he hits homers, a 40/40 season is not out of the realm of possibility for Ronald.
