The Atlanta Braves found a spark from the face of the franchise Monday night, as Ronald Acuña Jr. crushed a towering 468-foot two-run home run against the Kansas City Royals, tying the game 2-2 in the third inning at Kauffman Stadium. The blast was Acuña’s longest of the season and tied for the sixth-longest in MLB this year.
The Acuña Jr. home run came off Royals starter Brady Singer and soared over the waterfall in left-center field, drawing immediate attention from fans, analysts, and teammates alike. It marked another major moment in Acuña’s comeback season after his 2024 ACL tear.
