WATCH: Long homers from Ronald Acuña Jr. and Austin Riley extend the Braves lead

The Braves are making LoanDepot Park look like a little league field.

Ronald Acuña Jr. and Austin Riley both hit home runs in the fifth inning to extend the Braves lead to 13-4. 

Acuña Jr's homer might make it all the way back to Atlanta from Miami. This ball was hit 461 feet to dead center. The exit velocity on this homer was 114.2 mph. 

This was a great example of the impressive power Acuña Jr. possesses. 

Riley's homer was hit a long way as well, traveling 407 feet with an exit velocity of 109.3 mph. 

You love to see the Braves stars doing damage against an NL East foe. 

We are in the fifth inning, and the Braves have already sent five balls out of the yard. 

Let's take a look at Acuña Jr. and Riley's home runs against the Marlins.
