Slugs 12th homer
Acuna went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Yankees.
Analysis
The star outfielder took Brent Headrick deep in the eighth inning as Atlanta tried to mount a late comeback. Acuna has found his power stroke late in the season, and five of his 12 homers on the year have come in the last nine games -- a stretch in which he's batting .270 (10-for-37) with six RBI.

Logs two homers in victory
Acuna went 2-for-5 with a pair of home runs and three RBI in an 11-3 win over the Marlins on Thursday.
Analysis
Acuna's homers weren't exactly moonshots -- one was the result of two Marlins outfielders colliding and knocking the ball over the wall, and the other traveled an estimated 337 feet -- but they counted all the same. It was the second multi-homer game of the season for the star outfielder and the 16th time he's achieved the feat in his career. Acuna is slashing .244/.358/.436 with 11 home runs, 27 RBI, 39 runs and 15 stolen bases through 63 contests on the campaign.
