WATCH: Ronald Acuña Jr hits his 2nd homerun of the day to extend Atlanta's lead over Detroit in the series finale

Ronald Acuña Jr: So hot right now

Ronald Acuña Jr, just hours after hitting a 3rd inning homerun off of Reese Olson in game one of today's doubleheader against the Tigers, has victimized another pitcher. 

The Braves rightfielder took Michael Lorenzen deep in the top of the 3rd inning, blasting a hanging sweeper 114.5 off the bat and sending it a ridiculous 461 feet to center field.  

Ronald Acuña HR.

The two homeruns give Acuña 15 on the season - he also stole a base in game one, giving him 29 on the season, and the hopes of a 40-40 season are still alive for Ronald provided he has a modest power binge at some point this season (which feels likely, given how hot his bat runs). 

Atlanta's up 3-0 as they head to the bottom of the 3rd inning.
