Ronald Acuna Jr. will seek the one additional home run he needs to join an elite group when the Atlanta Braves host the Philadelphia Phillies in the rubber game of their three-game series on Wednesday afternoon.
The Braves (97-54) ended their four-game losing streak on Tuesday with a 9-3 win over the Phillies. Philadelphia (82-69) won the series opener on Monday. Atlanta has an 8-4 lead in the season series.
Acuna hit two home runs on Tuesday and has 39 this season. The next blast would make him the fifth player to reach 40 home runs and 40 stolen bases in the same season.
