Braves News: Travis D’Arnaud Goes Deep Again, Ronald Acuna Jr. Sets New Stolen Base Record, More

April 23, 2024 by Talking Chop

MLB: Miami Marlins at Atlanta Braves
Brett Davis-USA TODAY Sports

It was a historic night in Atlanta.

Travis D’Arnaud delivered his fifth home run over his past three games.

Bryce Elder went nearly seven shutout innings.

But the fun part of the night in the Braves 3-0 win over the Marlins was the history that was made by a few long-time Braves.

Ronald Acuna Jr. surpassed Rafael Furcal for the most stolen bases by a Brave in the Atlanta era of the franchise (since 1966.)

Meanwhile, AJ Minter set a franchise holds record with the 108th hold of his career, proving how consistent he has been in his time in Atlanta.

The calling card of the Braves over the past few regular seasons is that they keep winning and they keep making history. That trend seems to be continuing into 2024.
