Braves 4, Phillies 2

Doesn’t it feel like the Braves, winners of seven in a row, should be up by more than 5.5 games in the NL East? Anyway, Atlanta will extend its lead in the division if Ronald Acuna continues to play at an MVP level. Acuna went 2-for-5 with an RBI last night.

Orioles 8, Rays 6

Aaron Hicks is proving to be a masterful addition by the Orioles, plucking him from the enemy hands of the Yankees. The outfielder went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBIs in this game, and has seen his performance take a complete 180 since arriving in Baltimore.
