The Atlanta Braves pushed their lead in the NL East to two games over the Philadelphia Phillies Tuesday night with a 10-6 win over the Miami Marlins. Ronald Acuña Jr hit two more home runs including a leadoff shot on the first pitch he saw in the game. That gives Acuña three leadoff home runs in the series and homers in five straight games.
"There are no words to describe this feeling."
