Ronald Acuna Jr. Stuns Japan With Leadoff Homer Off Yoshinobu Yamamoto

Acuña needed one swing to flip the Venezuela-Japan quarterfinal, launching a leadoff homer to right-center off Yamamoto for a 1-0 lead. The blast came moments after FOX’s broadcast highlighted how difficult the Japanese ace is to hit. Venezuela’s star immediately changed that narrative and gave the underdogs an ideal start in the win-or-go-home clash.
