Braves news: Watch Ronald Acuña Jr.'s insane reaction to walk-off win over Phillies

The Atlanta Braves faced off against the Philadelphia Phillies in an intense game on Friday night. The score was tied at five when the bottom of the eleventh inning began. Drake Baldwin stepped up to the plate for the Braves and worked the count to 2-2 against Brooks Raley. With one out, Baldwin hit a sweeping double to right-center field, allowing Ha-Seong Kim to score and give the Braves a walk-off victory, 6-5.

Excited by the play, Braves star Ronald Acuña Jr. was seen passionately waving Kim across the plate as he rounded the bases. The Phillies had no play at the plate, and Acuña's animated reaction at home plate highlighted the significance of the walk-off win for the Braves.

This victory was a crucial comeback for the Braves, as they had trailed for the majority of the game after being down in the top of the ninth, tenth, and eleventh innings. In the ninth, Sean Murphy tied the game with an RBI single. The following inning, Mauricio Dubon hit a sacrifice fly to even the score. In the eleventh, Atlanta scored enough runs to secure the win, extending their lead at the top of the division to five games with 14 games remaining, giving them a more comfortable cushion over the Phillies in the NL East race.
