CLEARWATER, Fla. -- Braves top prospect Ronald Acuna Jr. continued his torrid pace by blasting a two-run homer -- which caromed off the back wall of the left-field bullpen -- in the first inning of Saturday's game against the Phillies at Spectrum Field in Clearwater, Fla.
Acuna, who picked on a 3-2 fastball from Phillies right-hander Zach Eflin, has four homers and 10 RBIs in 15 spring games. The homer raised his batting average to a Grapefruit League-leading .432 at the time.
