This home run became the seventh in the stadium&#8217;s history to fall directly into the river without bouncing.\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<!--  -->\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The solo home run came against a cut fastball from Taj Bradley, bringing Pittsburgh closer on the scoreboard 5-4. This was the twelfth home run of the season for the Dominican outfielder, who has 37 RBIs.<\/p>\n\n\nCruz continues to extend his personal record at PNC Park, where he already has seven home runs that have reached the Allegheny, the most for a Pirates player. Four of those hits were connected in the 2024 season.\n\nThe Dominican slugger seems to be regaining his offensive rhythm, after a May where he hit three home runs, after having hit nine between March and April.\n\n<h2>Acu\u00f1a Jr. Shines in the Braves&#8217; Victory<\/h2>\n\nIn another game of the day, Ronald Acu\u00f1a Jr. was key in the Atlanta Braves&#8217; 8-3 victory over the Cincinnati Reds.\n\nThe Venezuelan started the game with a 429-foot home run, on the fourth pitch of the game, continuing his good offensive moment after hitting a grand slam the night before.\n\nMichael Harris II led Atlanta&#8217;s offense, batting 5-3 with three RBIs, while Colombian Didier Fuentes earned the win in relief.\n\nThe Braves secured the victory with a four-run rally in the sixth inning, with contributions from Dominican Jorge Mateo and Mike Yastrzemski.\n\nWith this victory, Atlanta continues to consolidate at the top of its division, while Acu\u00f1a continues to show signs of returning to his best offensive version.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Oneil Cruz Hits a Monster Home Run into the Allegheny River Dominican Oneil Cruz demonstrated his power by hitting an impressive home run that left PNC Park and landed in the Allegheny River, during the game between the Pittsburgh Pirates and the Minnesota Twins.
