Braves Need a Bounce-Back Game From Acuna Right Now
The Braves will certainly be hoping that Acuna can bounce back against the Brewers on Saturday. The star outfielder has gone hitless in each of his last two games, so there is no question that he is due for a big game.
Acuna has appeared in 77 games so far this season with the Braves, where he has recorded 13 home runs, 35 RBI, and a .234 batting average. Overall, he has been having a down year for his standards, and it will be intriguing to see if he can heat back up against Milwaukee from here.
