The Atlanta Braves held their breath Monday night as Ronald Acuña Jr. exited the game after being hit by a pitch for the second time. Acuña left in the sixth inning of Atlanta’s matchup against the Washington Nationals after being struck on the left hand by a 91 mph fastball from Nationals starter Jake Irvin. The incident marked the second time Acuña had been hit by Irvin in the game.
The Atlanta Braves held their breath Monday night when Ronald Acuña Jr. was forced out of the game after being hit by a pitch twice against the Washington Nationals. Acuña was plunked earlier in the game by Nationals starter Jake Irvin, but the real concern came in the sixth inning when another fastball struck him on the left wrist/hand area. The moment quickly escalated tensions, as Bryce Elder hit a Nationals batter in the following half-inning, leading to warnings for both dugouts.
