Acuna helps Braves top Jays for 6th straight win

Atlanta's Ronald Acuna Jr. emerged from a slump to drive in a run and score twice in the Braves' 7-2 win over the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday.

Acuna, who went 1-for-4 with a walk, ended an 0-for-15 streak with a leadoff triple and came around to score the first run. He scored again in the fifth, giving him a National League-best 111 runs.

The Braves won their sixth straight and have claimed 10 in a row at home, leaving them two shy of the franchise's modern-era record set in 2000.

Braves starter Mike Foltynewicz (5-5) threw five scoreless innings and gave up two hits, with three walks and two strikeouts.
