VIDEO: Braves' Star Ronald Acuña Jr. Walks-off the Marlins With RBI Single in Bottom of 9th
By Karl Rasmussen
Ronald Acuña Jr. is well aware that the Braves can't afford to drop games at the hands of the Miami Marlins. After struggling to break ahead in Thursday's clash, Acuña came up in the game's most pivotal spot: two outs, two on in the bottom of the ninth. As the clutch superstar often does, he delivered in the heat of the moment, slapping a single into the gap in left-center field and knocking in the game-winning run.

Acuña's sensational season continued as he handed Atlanta its 77th win of the year and the series sweep of Miami.
The game-winner was Acuña's first hit of the game, as he had reached base only via a free pass earlier in the outing.
