Acuña made his much anticipated debut on April 25 and launched his first homer a day later. Acuña would finish the day 3-for-4 at the plate helping the Braves to a 7-4 win over the Reds to improve to 14-10 on the season. </p>

<p>Is it really a “classic” if it’s three years old?</p> <p id="qKV2Ku">For those of you hungry for livestreamed, historical baseball, the <a href="https://www.talkingchop.com/">Braves</a> have kind of got you covered, so long as “historical” means “from any time in the past.” Which, I guess, it really does!</p>

<p id="WykjwP">The game will presumably go up at 4pm ET. </p>
<p id="PJSzhA">For my money, the “classic” should have been <span>Dan Uggla</span>’s epic grand slam game from 2014, or perhaps a <span>Greg Maddux</span> start, to join in on MLB Network’s celebration of The Professor’s 54th birthday.</p>

<p id="nWGlb6">The “Braves Classics” series will continue Friday night with to the 2012 season when Hall of Fame third baseman Chipper Jones homered in his season debut. </p>
<p id="knmJTI">Jones, who had previously announced that the 2012 season would be his last, had undergone arthroscopic surgery on his left knee. He returned to action without playing in any Minor League rehab games and homered in the third inning in front of both of his parents who had made the trip over to Houston. </p>
