The Atlanta Braves and Miami Marlins have always been division rivals. However, it seems that since Jose Urena hit Ronald Acuna Jr. with the first pitch of a game in 2018, the rivalry has evolved into a more personal one.
Not only has it ignited the rivalry but also Ronald Acuña’s motivation to play well against Miami. He has continued to torment them even after his incident with Urena.
Acuña has a career slash line of .336/.416/.709 when facing the Marlins. He has 15 home runs and 33 RBI with an OPS of 1.
