The Superstar gardener of the Atlanta Braves, Ronald Acuna Jr., returned to the alignment for the first time after he broke his LCA last season in the 2-1 defeat of the team against San Diego’s parents on Friday night in Truist Park.
Acuna, 27, seemed that he had not jumped a rhythm. In the first launch that saw the operator of the parents of San Diego, Nick Pivetta, the MVP of 2023 NL demolished it 467 feet for an imposing home run.
Acuna said that “he had the feeling” that he could do something special in his return.

“For me, that is just the culmination of all the work I put,” he said.
Unfortunately for the Braves, Acun’s solitary home run was the sole race they scored, since Pivetta closed the brave offensive later.
Pivetta ended up launching six tickets while dispersing four hits and struck out the seven brave batters.

The third base of the parents, Manny Machado, broke a 1-1 draw in the ninth entrance with a solitary home run by Raisel Iglesias to give the parents a 2-1 advantage that they would not give up.
The loss falls to the Braves to 24-26, who still seek to recover after a start of 0-7. The team hopes that Acuna’s return can help them stimulate them to the postseason dispute.
“It is one of those players that is better not to have a beer or whatever, because you could miss something really great, you know?” Los Bravos manager Brian Snitker said.

“I mean, he is that kind of strength, I think, in the game. I think he will energize everyone. I’m going to energize fans. I’m going to energize his teammates.”
“It’s huge,” said the third base Austin Riley on Acuna’s return. “The talent is there. The energy it brings, which has Ronald there at the top of the alignment … can change a game at any time.”
The Braves and the parents will play the second game of their three -game series on Saturday at 4:10 pm et.
