Ronald Acuna Jr, the 2023 NL MVP, has had his last two previous seasons taken from him by injuries. Every rule change and new ballpark dimension was designed by god to hand Ronald Acuna Jr a chissel he could use to carve his face into the Mount Rushmore of baseball greats.
And it looks like, as the Atlanta Braves win their 9th consecutive game, beating the Cincinnati Reds 5-2 on Saturday, that Ronald Acuna Jr is ready to carve once more.
Acuna Jr homered TWICE, 2 solo bombs against the Reds, extending his streak to now 3 straight games with a homer.
ACUÑA JR. AGAIN!
That’s 4 homers in the last 3 games for Ronald 😤 pic.twitter.com/YPbHP2R0Il

He also stole 2 bases. As June approaches, Ronald Acuna Jr is transforming into 2023 MVP form, all while the Braves become the first team to 40 wins.
Everything’s coming up Atlanta.
Not so great in Cincy as the Reds lose their 3rd straight.
I mostly just wanted record of Acuna Jr finishing May on fire. Check back out later in the day, after the Braves and Reds finish their 3-game series, and we’ll yap a little more about the Reds then.
