Supplies offense in win Acuna went 2-for-4 with a home run, a double and four RBI in Saturday's 4-3 win over the Phillies.

This was the outfielder's third multi-hit effort in his last five games, and he's gone yard in each of his last two contests.

Hits two-run homer Acuna went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in Friday's 7-2 win over Philadelphia.
Impact Acuna knocked in Eddie Rosario on a two-run go-ahead shot in the eighth inning. It would have been enough for the win, but the Braves continued to pile it on that inning. It was Acuna's 12th homer of the season and his first since Aug. 31. This has been a down year for a perennial MVP candidate. He is on pace to finish with his lowest home run total in a season aside from 2020's 14 homers. On the plus side, he has swiped 28 bags, the second most in a season in his career.

Two hits Monday Acuna went 2-for-4 with one double in Monday's win over the Pirates.
Impact The All Star added two hits to what has been a great month of August. Acuna is now hitting .325 in the month after hitting .259 up to that point. His season-long line of .274/.367/.412 is not what fantasy managers have come to expect from the phenom, but his 25 steals are good for second in the majors, impressive given that he has played in just 88 games.
