With the score tied in the 11th inning of Monday’s game against the New York Yankees, Braves left fielder Ronald Acuña hit a two-run homer to give the Braves a 5-3 lead.

It was the seventh homer of the year for Acuña, whose HR barely escaped the glove of a leaping 6-foot-7 Yankees rightfielder Aaron Judge.

The Braves face the Yankees for the second game in a three-game Yankee Stadium series Tuesday at 7:05 p.m.
