The World Baseball Classic continued on Friday, and this time, Ronald Acuña Jr. faced Ozzie Albies. Acuña Jr. and Team Venezuela came out on top, winning 6-2. The Braves outfielder set the tone early with a leadoff double and crossed the plate a couple of times.
Albies and the Netherlands offense struggled to get much going in the matchup, with the Braves second baseman
finishing the game hitless. Even so, the head-to-head between two Atlanta teammates added an interesting storyline to the early stages of the tournament, with Acuña getting the better of the matchup this time around.
