Two fans arrested after on-field incident with Braves' Acuna

Two men who stormed the field in Denver and made physical contact with Atlanta Braves star Ronald Acuna are facing charges in Denver, police reports showed Tuesday.

The men -- 23-year-old Jefferson Gonzales-Merida and 21-year-old Carlos Rivelo-Paiz -- were both charged with trespassing and disturbing the peace a day after Acuna was knocked to the ground as security guards attempted to apprehend them in the seventh inning of a game at Coors Field.

"I was a little scared at first, but I think the fans were out there and asking for a picture," Acuna said after the game.
