They’re not even as rare as what Ronald Acuna Jr. pulled off Monday night.His legend growing with each game Aaron Nola Jersey , the 20-year-old rookie hit leadoff homers in both games of a doubleheader to lead the first-place Atlanta Braves to a sweep of the Miami Marlins.Acuna appeared to be only the fourth player in baseball history to accomplish the feat, and certainly the youngest.Two others, Rickey Henderson and Harry Hooper, are in the Hall of Fame.By comparison, there have been 23 perfect games and 15 unassisted triple plays.“It’s pretty special,” said Braves star Freddie Freeman, who also homered in Game 2. “He’s some kind of hot right now. What he’s doing at the plate, you just don’t see it very often.”Acuna hit an opposite-field drive into the Braves’ bullpen in the opener, powering Atlanta to a 9-1 victory. Haitian-American Touki Toussaint pitched six strong innings to claim the win in his major league debut.It was more of the same from Acuna in the nightcap. He sent a towering shot into the seats in left-center, sparking the Braves to a 6-1 win behind another strong outing on the mound from Mike Foltynewicz.Over the course of about nine hours, Acuna went 5-for-8 with two homers, five RBIs, five runs Juan Samuel Jersey , two walks and a stolen base.“I just found out,” he said through a translator when asked if he knew about his unique double. “I give thanks to God for the opportunity to make history in my own sense.”The Elias Sports Bureau said Baltimore’s Brady Anderson was the last to hit a pair of leadoff homers in one day against the Chicago White Sox on Aug. 21, 1999.Before that, it was accomplished by Oakland’s Henderson against the Cleveland Indians on July 5, 1993. Hooper did it more than a century ago, playing for the Boston Red during a pair of games at the Washington Senators on May 20, 1913.“Freddie and I were just kind of standing there smiling at each other like, ‘Again?'” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “It’s been fun to watch.”The Braves stretched their lead in the NL East to a full game over idle Philadelphia.It was a totally forgettable day and night for the hapless Marlins, who struggled in all phases of the game. Poor hitting. Shaky pitching. Shoddy baserunning. Sloppy defense.Acuna has flourished since moving into the leadoff role for the Braves. He has 17 homers this season — four of them leading off games.Foltynewicz (10-7) matched his career high for wins and even chipped in with an RBI single — only his third hit of the season. He went eight innings, allowing five hits and the lone Miami run.Merandy Gonzalez (2-1) took the loss after being called up from Double-A Jacksonville for his first big league start. Freeman connected on his 19th homer of season. He’s piled up big numbers against the Marlins, hitting .434 with seven homers and 15 RBIs in 13 meetings.Looking cool as can be on a sweltering summer afternoon in Atlanta, Toussaint took full advantage of his temporary promotion to serve as the team’s 26th player in the opening game. He surrendered just two hits and limited the damage from his only serious jam to a single run.Toussaint (1-0) was born in Florida but moved to Haiti just a few months later, living there for about eight years. He returned to Florida after his parents split up and gave baseball a try.He hopes word of his success gets back to Haiti http://www.philliesfanproshop.com/authentic-pat-neshek-jersey , an impoverished Caribbean nation that has no passion for baseball and has never sent a native-born player to the majors.“To be able to play on this stage, to be able to represent my country, it’s definitely humbling,” Toussaint said. “Hopefully kids see that, go ahead and take a shot at it.”Acuna staked his fellow rookie to a quick lead with the homer off Pablo Lopez (2-3). Acuna added a two-run double in the sixth, highlighting a five-run outburst that turned the game into a blowout.HUMBLE BEGINNINGSToussaint wasn’t a big fan of baseball the first time he played.“I was terrible,” Toussaint recalled. “I had 24 at-bats and struck out like 22 times.”He took up pitching at a relatively late age, getting serious during his sophomore year of high school. He quickly blossomed into a top prospect and was picked in the first round by Arizona in 2014.TRAINER’S ROOMMiami 3B Martin Prado is headed back to the DL with yet another injury. He was lifted for a pinch-hitter after straining his left quadriceps sometime in the first two innings of Game 1.It wasn’t clear how Prado was hurt, but he’s played only 53 games this season because of recurring hamstring issues. Last year, he was limited to a career-low 37 games because of injuries.“It didn’t sound too severe,” manager Don Mattingly said.Adding to the Marlins’ misery, Prado’s replacement was injured in Game 2. Miguel Rojas sustained a left ankle contusion while getting thrown out at third base to end the second inning.UP NEXTMarlins: RHP Trevor Richards (3-7, 3.98) gets the nod when the NL East rivals meet again on Tuesday.Braves: RHP Anibal Sanchez (6-3 Robin Roberts Jersey , 2.83) returns to the mound after going only two innings in his most recent start. Sanchez had to leave last Thursday’s game at Washington after being struck on the leg with a liner up the middle. The Chicago Cubs‘ offense needed a boost. Adding one of the league’s best left-handed bats should certainly help the cause.The Cubs acquired infielder Daniel Murphy from Washington on Tuesday for a minor leaguer, plus another player or cash considerations.Murphy could make his Cubs debut on Wednesday night at Detroit. Chicago claimed Murphy off waivers, then worked out a deal with the Nationals.Article continues below ...“My biggest concern is him, how much he can endure,” Cubs manager Joe Maddon said. “I want to sit down with him in the office and go over this eyeball-to-eyeball. ‘I need to know what you need.’ That’s (what you do) when you get a veteran player this time of the year, even though he missed some of the season with an injury. You still want to know, what can you do (to help him)?”Murphy is batting .300 with six homers and 29 RBIs in 56 games this season. He has a career .413 average in 28 regular-season games at Wrigley Field. He also destroyed Cubs pitching in the 2015 National League playoffs, clubbing four homers for the New York Mets.“Everyone is excited to have him on our side,” Cubs utility man Ben Zobrist told the Chicago Tribune.Second baseman Javier Baez will likely slide over to play shortstop and some third base to open up playing time for Murphy.A pair of veteran left-handers will start the second and final game of the series. The Cubs scored a single run for the fifth consecutive game while losing on Tuesday, 2-1.Cubs ace Jon Lester (13-5, 3.72 ERA) bounced back from three poor outings to toss six scoreless innings against Pittsburgh on Thursday. He limited the Pittsburgh Pirates to five hits and didn’t issue a walk while striking out eight.In his previous three outings, Lester was rocked for a combined 17 earned runs, including six homers Tug McGraw Jersey , in 13 2/3 innings.“He had this way about him today that was not going to be denied,” Maddon said during his postgame press conference. “That’s what I saw. He was locked in, he’d had enough, and he went back to pitching like Jon’s capable of pitching.”For Lester, it was just a matter of trusting his stuff and improving his location.“Still threw my fastball, still threw my cutter,” he said. “I think just better execution, better angle on both pitches.”Surprisingly, the Tigers have given Lester more trouble than any other team. He’s 2-6 in 11 starts against them with a 6.05 ERA and 1.80 WHIP.Naturally, these Tigers are much different than the ones he faced in past seasons. They are in the early stages of rebuilding.Detroit starter Francisco Liriano (3-8, 4.72 ERA) will be seeking his first victory since April 28. Liriano has gone winless in his last 15 appearances and was charged with the loss in his last three starts.He lasted just 1 2/3 innings against Minnesota on Thursday, surrendering eight runs (four earned) on five hits and three walks. A combination of walks and homers have ruined Liriano’s season. He has issued 58 free passes and given up 16 long balls in 97 1/3 innings.The Tigers were hoping to flip Liriano for a prospect or two after signing him as a free agent but he’s been too ineffective to drum up any interest.
