Ronald Acuna Jr. became upset with Johan Oviedo during the bottom of the first inning of Saturday night's game between the Atlanta Braves and Pittsburgh Pirates at Truist Park in Atlanta, Ga., which caused the benches to empty. Acuna was leading off for Atlanta and got upset after a 2-1 pitch from Oviedo tailed inside near Acuna's thigh. Acuna stared down the Pirates pitcher and started to say something. Oviedo responded by approaching Acuna, who talked back to the Pirates pitcher. Acuna had to be restrained by home plate umpire Rob Drake.
