Acuña Shatters Records in Braves Shutout | Columbia News

Ronald Acuña Jr. just shattered MLB history, becoming the fastest player ever to hit 200 home runs and steal 200 bases—achieving it in just 904 games, breaking Alfonso Soriano’s 2006 record. It happened during Atlanta’s dominant 9-0 shutout of Washington, with Acuña crushing a three-run homer in the 7th inning after Sean Murphy broke the tie with his own blast in the 6th. The Braves’ pitching trio—Holmes, Dodd, and Hernández—dominated while the Nationals struggled offensively, managing only a couple of hits and losing catcher Ruiz to a foul ball. With this win, Atlanta heads into their Phillies series riding high—and Acuña’s historic night proves he’s a rare blend of power and speed unlike any other.
