Breaking News: New York Mets have just brought back a dominant MLB player from overseas for their bench….Read more
This week, the two Major League Baseball teams that employ the Acuna twins are competing against one another for a position in the National League playoffs.
In the chase for the National League wild card, the Atlanta Braves, led by the reigning National League Most Valuable Player Ronald Acuna Jr., are pursuing the New York Mets, a team that just recently brought up his younger brother Luisangel Acuna on September 14. In May, the elder Acuna suffered a tear to his anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which caused him to be sidelined for the remainder of the season. However, he is currently present at Truist Park to cheer for his Braves and keep an eye on his younger brother.
The brothers had a friendly wager on the three-game series that started on Tuesday night in Atlanta, according to Luisangel Acuna, who is 22 years old and told reporters on Tuesday that the games will begin.
“If they end up winning, [Ronald] is going to post me on Instagram and say, ‘Welcome to Atlanta,'” Luisangel said to the reporters on Tuesday through a translator. “Welcome to Atlanta.” “But I told him [the Braves] were going to lose.”
At the beginning of Tuesday’s game, the Braves were 1.5 games behind a postseason place and two games behind the Mets. However, they captured the first game of the series by a score of 5–1, bringing them closer to New York in the standings.
Tuesday was the day that the younger Acuna batted ninth and began at shortstop for the Mets. He went one-for-three with a single and had a single. He scored the first and only run of the night for New York, while his brother was observing the game from the bench with great attention.
Following the conclusion of the three-game series that took place at Truist Park, the Braves will conclude the regular season of 2024 by playing the Kansas City Royals. Meanwhile, the Mets will play the Milwaukee Brewers, who took first place in the National League Central, at American Family Field.
