The Atlanta Braves, led by Ronald Acuna Jr.'s MVP-type numbers, will go for their eighth straight win and a three-game sweep of the visiting Washington Nationals on Sunday.
The Braves won the first two games, 3-2 on Friday and 6-4 on Saturday, and improved to 4-1 against Washington this season. Atlanta has come from behind to win its last six games and is the first National League team to win 40 games.
"I'm probably playing the best baseball of my big-league career," Acuna said. "I think I could play better. The most important thing is to stay healthy." "It lengthens the lineup when you have a presence like Marcell," Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said. "To have that bat in the middle is really good. And what Ronald is doing is crazy.""It's hard to hit, but when you get to 0-2, it's really hard to hit," Martinez said.
