Monday was another fun day for the Braves offense as they won their sixth straight game in a 9-4 victory over the Nationals. Drake Baldwin and Matt Olson had big games, while the offense as a whole once again delivered. However, the story of the game was a stretch of concern after Ronald Acuna Jr. left the game after being hit by a pitch two different times. Fortunately, x-rays were negative and he is day-to-day. Despite the brief scare, it was another highly successful night for the Braves.
