VIDEO: Ronald Acuña Brings Braves Back Within 2 With 9th Inning Home Run
By Sam Dunn
There was NO doubt about that one. With the Braves stunned into near-paralysis after their bullpen utterly collapsed against the Cardinals and allowed six (!) runs combined in the eighth and ninth innings, their franchise phenom took it upon himself to battle back. With a man on first, Acuña erupted for a two-run homer to make it 7-5 in the bottom of the ninth in Game 1 of the NLDS.

Just like that.
The NL East champs still have a ton of work to do, but the Pheñom ain't quittin'.
