Acuna Helps Miami Cruise to 11-1 Win
Miami designated hitter Ronald Acuna was instrumental in his team's 11-1 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. Acuna, who is tied for 7th in the AL in total bases with 210, went 3-5 with 2 runs scored to lead the offensive attack for the Marlins. The winner was Dick Pole, who threw 98 pitches over 6.1 innings. The right-hander was charged with 1 run on 5 hits. Miami is now 56-68.

In the top of the first, Acuna pounced on a 2-1 fastball from Chuck Estrada and hit a 2-run home run. It put Miami on top, 2-0.

"There's never a lack of effort in our clubhouse. We're willing to do the little things to get the win," Acuna told the Miami Bulletin.
