Acuña hits 40th HR, Braves clinch tie for first in NL East

PAUL NEWBERRY (AP Sports Writer)The Associated Press

Acuna became the second-youngest player in baseball history to hit 40 homers in a season, Freddie Freeman also drove in two runs and the Atlanta Braves clinched at least a tie for first place in the NL East with a 5-4 victory over the Philadelphia Phillies on Thursday. ''That's the most exciting thing up to this point,'' Acuna said through a translator.
