Several fans sprinted toward the Braves superstar, even knocking him to the ground at one point. However, he was uninjured.
Acuña tied career highs with four hits and five RBIs, hitting his 29th home run and stealing two bases to increase his major league-leading total to 61. He is one homer shy of becoming the first 30/60 player.
One fan got his arms against Acuña during the middle of the seventh inning, just after Atlanta scored four runs to open a 9-4 lead. Two security people quickly grabbed the fan and, as they tried to drag him away, a third security person approached. A second fan then sprinted toward the group and was tackled by one of the security people as a fourth member of security chased from behind.Reporting by The Associated Press.
