The Braves entered Saturday’s game 1-0 and with a very favorable matchup against a bad Nationals team with a bad starting pitcher and Spencer Strider on the mound.
It did not take long for this advantage to pay dividends, as Ronald Acuna hit a lead-off home run on an 0-2 pitch and Matt Olson followed with a homer of his own. Ronald’s was a true line drive homer, while Olson’s was a towering moonshot, with respective launch angles of 20 and 41 degrees.
Ronald Acuña Jr. and Matt Olson go back-to-back!
