What happened: Atlanta added the go-ahead run in the ninth to complete a 5-4 comeback. Acuña also drove in a run with a sixth-inning sacrifice fly.

Why it matters: Acuña's 200th career homer came four days earlier, making him the fastest player to reach 200 homers and 200 steals. The win put Atlanta five games ahead of Philadelphia in the NL East.

By the numbers: The 414-foot drive was Acuña's 16th homer of 2026. He finished 2-for-3 with four RBIs and owns a .310 average, 20 homers and a .931 OPS in 96 career games against Philadelphia.

What to watch: The division rivals close their four-game series Monday. Acuña carries three consecutive multi-hit games into the finale.
