Only 24 hours after becoming first ever player Atlanta Braves All-Star outfielder with 20 homers, 40 stolen bases and 50 RBIs in MLB history before the All-Star break Ronald Acuna Jr. On Tuesday night, he broke a baseball record that had stood for 54 years.

Between 3rd inning Against the Cleveland Guardians, Acuña scored a stolen base on his résumé for the game, but the stolen base also left a trail of potential NL MVP candidates.
