A historic night unfolded at Truist Park as Ronald Acuña Jr., the Atlanta Braves' superstar and leading candidate for the National League MVP, etched his name in the annals of Major League Baseball. During the Braves' thrilling 6-5 extra-innings victory against the visiting Cubs, Acuña achieved a groundbreaking feat—becoming the first player in MLB history to record both 40 or more home runs and 70 or more stolen bases in a single season.

The defining moment came in the 10th inning when Acuña delivered a clutch RBI single, leveling the game's score. Without wasting a moment, he showcased his incredible speed, stealing his 70th base of the 2023 season, positioning himself as the potential game-winning run. The subsequent walk-off hit by Ozzie Albies sealed the deal in dramatic fashion.

In addition to this historic achievement, Acuña had earlier notched his 69th stolen base during the game, completing a 2-for-5 performance as the Braves' leadoff hitter. His remarkable season statistics now include an impressive slash line of .336/.414/.596, along with 41 homers.

The Braves, with their 102nd win of the season, have now secured the coveted home-field advantage throughout the National League postseason.

Meanwhile, for the Cubs, it was another agonizing loss in Atlanta. After surrendering a six-run lead in the series opener on Tuesday, they endured yet another heartbreak in this contest. Despite holding a 4-3 lead with one out in the bottom of the ninth, the Cubs couldn't seal the victory, ultimately leading to extra innings and eventual defeat.

On the other hand, the Miami Marlins, who split a doubleheader with the Mets on Wednesday, capitalized on the Cubs' misfortune. The result was a tie in the standings between the two teams for the third and final NL wild-card spot. However, the Marlins' superior head-to-head season series record against the Cubs granted them the tiebreaker advantage. As a result, the Marlins now occupy the playoff position, while the Cubs find themselves on the outside looking in, with only four regular-season games remaining.

Miami's 4-2 win in the nightcap not only ensured their first winning season since 2009 but also handed them control over their playoff destiny as they approach the season's final stretch.
