Recap: Harris, Acuña power Braves in 12-2 win over Nationals

In what was a welcomed sight, Ronald Acuña Jr, stood at home plate and let out a full-throated scream as a baseball disappeared 446 feet into the Atlanta night. The Braves’ superstar let out a couple weeks of frustration as he watched a 3-run homer sail into the left field seats and give Charlie Morton all the support he would need in an 12-2 victory Friday night.

The night started with a bang, with 2 out and no one on in the first, Matt Olson stepped up and cranked his 13th home run of the season, giving the Braves an early 1-0 lead.
