Ronald Acuna Jr.'s pinch double propels Braves past Marlins

Field Level Media

Sparked by a dramatic pinch-hit double from Ronald Acuna Jr., the Atlanta Braves rallied for three runs in the seventh inning to beat the visiting Miami Marlins 6-4 on Friday.

The Braves, who earlier blew a 3-0 lead, tied the game when Matt Olson drew a leadoff walk and scored on Acuna's two-out double off Anthony Bass into left field. Acuna missed the previous two games due to a tight right quadriceps.

Dansby Swanson then walked, and Ozzie Albies hit a bloop double to left field. Acuna scored the go-ahead run, and Swanson ran through a stop sign at third to score without a throw.
