WATCH: Ronald Acuña Jr breaks Eury Perez's scoreless streak with a first inning home run

Marlins starter Eury Perez HAD a twenty-one inning scoreless streak

Lindsay Crosby | Jul 1, 2023

The Miami Marlins have had such great success this season thanks to their starting pitching. And Eury Perez, only twenty years old, has been one of the biggest contributors for that.

The 6'8 Perez, one of the top pitching prospects in all of baseball, was in the midst of a twenty-one inning scoreless streak entering today's game.

Ronald Acuña Jr ended that streak.

Ronnie took a 1-1 slider 417 feet to left field, staking the Braves to an early 1-0 lead.

It's Ronald 30th leadoff homerun of his career, with seven of them coming against the Miami Marlins.

To add insult to injury, Ozzie Albies ambushed a 1-2 fastball to right, sending it a just-far enough 359 feet to leave it in the Chop House seats.

As former Braves reliever Eric O'Flaherty said on twitter soon after the 2nd homerun:

If Braves were cheating and knew every pitch that was coming, this tear still wouldn’t make sense
