The Atlanta Braves enter the All-Star Break with a six-game lead in the National League East and the fifth best record in baseball.
They also will be heavily represented in Cleveland, first for the Home Run Derby Monday night, then for the All-Star Game Tuesday night.
Home Run Derby
Ronald Acuna Jr. was selected for the Home Run Derby and is the sixth seed in the bracket. He will take on Josh Bell from the Pirates in the first round.
Acuna has hit 21 home runs on the season, which is the second most on the Atlanta Braves, while Bell has 27, which is by far the most on Pittsburgh’s team.
