Acuña becomes fastest to 200 homers and 200 steals as Braves beat Nationals
Ronald Acuña Jr. hit a three-run homer, becoming the quickest player in MLB history to reach 200 home runs and 200 stolen bases, as the Atlanta Braves defeated the Washington Nationals 9-0. Sean Murphy contributed with a three-run homer of his own, breaking a scoreless tie in the sixth inning. Acuña then added an additional drive in the seventh to cement the 6-0 victory.
This record was previously held by Alfonso Soriano, who achieved the milestone in 929 games for the Nationals in 2006. Acuña required 904 games to accomplish this feat. The Atlanta Braves also claimed the three-game series win against the Nationals.
