DENVER — Ronald Acuña Jr. said he was OK after fending off two fans, including one who knocked him over, in right field during the Atlanta Braves’ 14-4 win over the Colorado Rockies on Monday night.
One fan got his arms against Acuña during the middle of the seventh inning. Two security people quickly grabbed the fan and, as they tried to drag him away, a third security person approached.
A second fan then sprinted toward the group, knocking down Acuña, and that fan was tackled as one of the security people chased him down.
Acuña wasn’t injured and remained in the game.
