The hit traveled 416 feet according to Statcast, with an exit velocity of 107.7 mph and a 31-degree angle, sealing a three-hit performance in the game and a memorable series in Milwaukee, where he batted .583 (12-7) with two home runs, four RBIs and three runs scored.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. extends the <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Braves?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@Braves<\/a> lead with a 416-foot blast! <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VavpdOgQ0r\">pic.twitter.com\/VavpdOgQ0r<\/a><\/p>&mdash; MLB (@MLB) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MLB\/status\/1932877045253702063?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 11, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n&#8220;I am very happy,&#8221; Acu\u00f1a expressed after the match. &#8220;It feels very good to be able to regain form and play at the level I know I can.&#8221;\n\nMichael Harris II also contributed a two-run homer in the second inning, while young pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach shone from the mound with nine strikeouts and only two earned runs allowed in the first complete game of his career.\n\nThe manager Brian Snitker praised the performance of his star: &#8220;I love how he&#8217;s doing right now. He&#8217;s having very good turns. When a guy like that gets hot, you know he can carry you.&#8221;\n\nAcu\u00f1a, who recently returned from a prolonged absence due to injury, presents an offensive line of .353\/.436\/.647 with 1.3 fWAR in his first 18 games of the campaign. However, Atlanta maintains a 5-13 record with him back, an indicator that the team still needs more than just his individual brilliance to move up in the standings.\n\nWith this victory, the Bravos broke a streak of six consecutive lost series, achieving their first series win since mid-May.\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Milwaukee,.
