During the seventh inning of Monday night’s Braves/Rockies game at Coors Field, Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. was confronted by a pair of fans who were seemingly looking to get a picture with the NL MVP favorite.
Security intervened and the fans were removed from the field and arrested, as Acuña was left unharmed and remained in the game for the final two innings.
After the game, the Braves slugger opened up about the incident, saying, “I was a little scared at first, but I think the fans were out there and asking for a picture. But security was able to get there, and so I think everything’s OK. Everyone’s OK.”
