MIA 5, ATL 9; Acuña HBP flips Game 1 in favor of Braves

The Marlins find themselves in a 1-0 hole in the National League Division Series after yielding nine runs to the Braves—including eight unanswered at one point—in Tuesday’s loss. It could’ve turned out quite differently if not for a Ronald Acuña Jr. hit by pitch.

Acuña led off the first inning as he so often does: with a solo home run. Even by his standards, this one was majestic, soaring an estimated 428 feet to right-center field.

Miguel Rojas countered with a no-doubter of his own in the top of the second.
