WASHINGTON (AP) — Ronald Acuña Jr. joined baseball’s exclusive 40-40 club Friday night by hitting his 40th home run of the season for the Atlanta Braves to go along with his 68 stolen bases. Acuña became the fifth player in major league history to have at least 40 homers and 40 steals in the same year. The others were Alfonso Soriano for the Washington Nationals in 2006, Alex Rodríguez for the Seattle Mariners in 1998, Barry Bonds for the San Francisco Giants in 1996, and Jose Canseco for the Oakland Athletics in 1988. Acuña connected off Nationals left-hander Patrick Corbin leading off the top of the first inning. A leading contender for the NL MVP award, the 25-year-old Acuña was already the only player in big league history with 30 homers and 60 stolen bases in one season.

By retaining him at the deadline, the Angels clung to what they feel is an important piece of rope tethering the two sides together. He has been given the creative space to flourish both as a hitter and as a pitcher. And the club has shielded him from the news media, ensuring that all of this is possible without much outside interruption. Additionally, the Giolito acquisition helped push the Angels over the $233 million luxury-tax threshold — a first under the owner Arte Moreno. Club officials feel his impact daily as they watch the throng of fans entering Angel Stadium.

[1/44] Aug 5, 2023; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago Cubs center fielder Cody Bellinger (24) gestures after driving in an RBI single against the Atlanta Braves during the first inning at Wrigley Field. Mandatory Credit: David Banks-USA TODAY SportsAugust 6 - Home runs by Dansby Swanson and Jeimer Candelario capped a five-run first inning, which sent the Chicago Cubs on their way to an 8-6 win over the visiting Atlanta Braves on Saturday. Candelario closed the inning with a solo home run, his 17th, and the Cubs' lead never dipped below two runs the rest of the way -- though the Braves made the final score closer in the ninth. Chicago starter Javier Assad pitched 3 2/3 innings, struck out three and allowed a pair of Atlanta runs. Cubs reliever Michael Fulmer (3-5) picked up the win after working 1 1/3 scoreless innings.
