Ronald Acuña Jr. homered for the third straight night at Dodger Stadium and Orlando Arcia hit a three-run shot in the 10th inning that sent the streaking Atlanta Braves to a 4-2 victory over Los Angeles on Saturday.
Atlanta will try for a four-game sweep Sunday in this much-anticipated matchup between the top two teams in the National League. With one out in the third inning, Acuña launched a 454-foot homer to center field that came off his bat like a rocket at an astounding 121.2 mph. It was the 32nd homer this year and third of the series for Acuña, the first player in big league history with 30 home runs and 60 stolen bases in a season.
That's how it stayed until the 10th, when Sean Murphy drew a two-out walk from Alex Vesia to put two runners on. Arcia drove the next pitch to left-center to give Atlanta a 4-1 lead.
