Photos: All in fun, Braves shun Acuna after home run

Ronald Acuna has played two games in the majors and he’s already impressing everyone.

Well, except his teammates who did not offer him high-fives in the dugout after his towering shot against the Reds Thursday.

It was all in fun of course, sort of a baseball tradition that playfully sends a message that a new guy’s accomplishment is not that big of a deal in the majors.

The Braves did swarm Acuna after the prank, however.

He went 3-for-5 in the game and is hitting .444 after two games.

Impressive.
