VIDEO: Ronald Acuña Jr. Goes Yard on Jose Berrios' First Pitch of Game
By Adam Weinrib
The final image of Monday night's Twins-Braves game was Ronald Acuña Jr. sprinting in from center field, victimized by a Miguel Sano walk-off blast. The first image of Tuesday's contest? Acuña sitting on a fastball middle-middle, rocketing the ball out to center himself. People don't forget.

Berrios has the type of raw stuff to get anyone out, but RAJ came into this contest on a mission of vengeance.
The blast takes him up to 27 homers and 70 RBI on the season, a perfect sophomore follow-up to the havoc he wreaked last year in his debut.
If you're facing the kid, stay ready. He doesn't take a single pitch off.
