Braves News: Ronald Acuña Jr. makes 30/60 club, MLB playoff picture, and more

Ronald Acuña Jr. made history in grand fashion Thursday night as the Atlanta Braves defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers, 8-7. Acuña became the first player in Major League history to have a 30 home run, 60 stolen base season. His 30th home run was definitely one to remember, being the go-ahead grand slam.
