Braves home runs: Atlanta takes Twins ace Joe Ryan deep four times in first time through the order

The Atlanta Braves entered play on Tuesday night with on a team-wide heater. Their lineup has been far and away the best in baseball in the month of June, with a team wRC+ (145) that's as close to the second-place Texas Rangers as the Rangers are to 15th. And after what they did to poor Joe Ryan of the Minnesota Twins, those numbers are about to go way, way up.

To be clear, Ryan's been a Cy Young contender so far this year, entering his start in Atlanta boasting a 2.98 ERA – and coming off a three-hit shutout of the Boston Red Sox last time out. So, naturally, Ronald Acuna Jr. needed exactly one pitch to take him yard.
