LOS ANGELES — 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.
Bryce Elder pitched six effective innings and the Braves (90-45) won their sixth consecutive game, becoming the first major league club to reach 90 wins this season.
Atlanta will try for a four-game sweep Sunday in this much-anticipated matchup between the top two teams in the National League.
Married north of Los Angeles before Thursday's game, Acuña once again outshined Dodgers star Mookie Betts in their chase for NL MVP.
