DETROIT — Depending on which dugout you’re in, a well-struck homer can either amp up your team or suck the air from the room.
Luckily for the Braves, they have Ronald Acuña Jr. Of the six home runs hit in the nightcap at Comerica Park on Wednesday, Acuña’s packed the biggest wallop by a long shot.
The Braves already had the lead in the third inning during a game they went on to win against the Tigers, 6-5, when Acuña unleashed a 461-foot moon shot that crashed into the ivy-covered Chevrolet Fountain in center field.
The victory completed a doubleheader sweep and clinched a three-game series win for Atlanta, which also won the matinee, 10-7. Acuña homered in that one, too, his 429-footer part of a three-hit, three-RBI game.
