Braves' Acuna becomes youngest to homer 4 games in row

Ronald Acuna Jr. made some home run history Monday.

The Atlanta Braves left fielder led off both games of a doubleheader against the visiting Miami Marlins with home runs. With the blasts, Acuna, 20 years, 238 days old, became the youngest player ever to homer in four consecutive games, according to the Elias Sports Bureau. The old mark was set by Miguel Cabrera of the then-Florida Marlins in 2004 when he was 20 years, 362 days old.

Through the seventh inning of the Braves-Marlins nightcap, Acuna was hitting .283 with 17 homers and 39 RBIs in 66 major league games, all this season. He went 2-for-3 with three RBIs and two walks in the first game of the doubleheader, a 9-1 Atlanta win, and he was 3-for-4 with two RBIs in the second game.
