Acuna's milestone hit lifts Braves over Phillies | Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette

Ronald Acuña Jr. delivered the key moment with a three-run tying homer, and Austin Riley followed with a go-ahead RBI triple as the Atlanta Braves rallied to beat the Philadelphia Phillies 5-4 on Sunday. Acuña crushed a 100.5-mph fastball from Phillies reliever Alex McFarlane into the right-field seats in the top of the eighth to tie the score at 4. It was Acuña’s 16th home run of the season and the seventh straight 100-plus pitch McFarlane threw to him. The blast marked Acuña’s 1,000th career hit, placing him alongside Hank Aaron as the only Braves player with 1,000 hits, 200 home runs and 200 stolen bases. In the ninth, Ozzie Albies doubled and Riley tripled to give Atlanta the lead. Dylan Lee earned the win, Raisel Iglesias recorded his 31st save, and Kyle Schwarber hit MLB-leading 42nd.
