Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. made even more MLB history Wednesday night as he established the 40-70 club while helping Atlanta secure home-field advantage through the National League playoffs.
Acuña delivered a run-scoring single in the 10th inning against the Chicago Cubs that tied the game at 5, then immediately took off for second to swipe his second base of the night and 70th this season.
He has 41 homers, extending a historic season that already saw him become the first 40-50 and 40-60 player.
"It was one of those numbers that wasn't impossible but seemed impossible," Acuña said through an interpreter after Atlanta's 6-5 win.
