Stepping in for the injured Francisco Lindor, Luisangel Acuña made a significant impact for the New York Mets in their 10-1 victory over the Washington Nationals. The 22-year-old, younger brother of Atlanta Braves' star Ronald Acuña Jr., showcased his talent by hitting his first career home run and finishing just a triple short of hitting for the cycle in only his fourth major league game.
