Acuna is entering this game against the Giants in the middle of a hot streak. The five-time All-Star is currently on a three-game hitting streak, where he has gone 6-for-9 over that span. With this, he has undoubtedly been seeing the ball well right now, and he will be aiming to keep it going against San Francisco from here.

In 84 games so far this campaign with the Braves, Acuna has posted 13 home runs, 13 doubles, 36 RBI, and a .241 batting average. Overall, he is having a down year by his standards, but he is starting to show real signs of bouncing back.
