Ronald Acuña Jr. again goes deep against Dodgers in Braves' 90th win
LOS ANGELES -- Ronald Acuña Jr. homered for the third straight night at Dodger Stadium, and Orlando Arcia hit a three-run shot in the 10th inning that sent the streaking Atlanta Braves to a 4-2 victory over Los Angeles on Saturday.
Acuña's 454-foot drive to center field came off his bat like a rocket at an astounding 121.2 mph -- the hardest-hit ball in the majors this year.
"I never imagined that was going to be the exit velocity on it," Acuña said through an interpreter. "But yeah, I hit it hard."
Bryce Elder pitched six effective innings, and the Braves (90-45) won their sixth consecutive game, becoming the first major league club to reach 90 wins this season.
