Acuña Brothers Share Special Moment Before Crucial Braves-Mets

Ronald and Luisangel Acuña's jersey swap highlights a pivotal series with major playoff implications.

Ronald Acuña Jr., sidelined with a torn ACL, watched from the dugout as his brother Luisangel played in his 10th MLB game for the Mets.
The Acuña brothers exchanged jerseys in a pre-game ceremony, fulfilling a long-held promise from their minor league days.
Luisangel has been a standout for the Mets, batting .379 with three home runs in his first nine games, stepping up in Francisco Lindor's absence.
The series is critical for the NL wild card race, with the Mets currently holding the second spot and the Braves close behind.
Tropical Storm Helene threatens to disrupt the series, adding uncertainty to the already high-stakes matchups.
