VIDEO: Braves Race Ahead of Phillies With 2-Run Bombs From Ender Inciarte and Ronald Acuña
By Sam Dunn
The Atlanta Braves have led the NL East all summer long, but they aren't out of the woods. Not by a long shot. Both the Nationals and Phillies are lurking, and only a sustained run of quality ball will suffice if they're going to take this division for the second year in a row. And so far this evening in Philadelphia, Ender Inciarte is doing his part to make that happen.
Saturday night's alright for @enderinciartem ?#ChopOn pic.twitter.com/z0FqZ6H0P1

Yep, he knew it. Right off the crack of the bat, he knew it.
Not to be outdone, however, Ronald Acuña Jr. decided he'd join in on the fun. How does a second two-out homer in the second inning sound?

Yikes. That ball was tattooed, with Statcast estimating it at 446 feet.
So far, so good for the Braves at Citizens Bank Park. Those throwback unis ain't bad, either.
