This Atlanta Braves player got married and broke a baseball record all in one day. Talk about a grand slam.

Ronald Acuña Jr. had a big day on Thursday.

  • In the morning, Acuña married his longtime partner Maria Laborde in an intimate ceremony.

  • That night, he helped the Braves beat the Los Angeles Dodgers and broke a baseball record.

  • For most people, getting married would be more than enough activity for one day.

    But on the day the Atlanta Braves' Robert Acuña Jr. became a married man, he also made MLB history.

    On Thursday, Acuña, 25, married his longtime partner Maria Laborde, 23, in a last-minute ceremony in California just hours before the right fielder won an away game against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
