VIDEO: Ronald Acuña Provides Some Early Damage With Leadoff Home Run Against the Cubs
By Brendan Azoff
Ronald Acuna Jr. was all over the first pitch of Tuesday night's Cubs and Braves game, crushing the ball to the last row of Wrigley Field for a leadoff home run. It was his 12th leadoff homer of his career, as he flexes his value atop the order.

The homer was Acuna's 19th of the year, and the mammoth shot put the Braves up 1-0 early on. You cannot ask for a better start if you are an Atlanta fan, and the potential All-Star starter got this game off on a high note.
