Washington Nationals outfielder Juan Soto and Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna Jr. likely will be compared to each other for the rest of their careers.
The scrutiny will continue when the two exciting second-year players meet for the second time this year on Wednesday as the Nationals complete a two-game series in Atlanta. Each player had a single on Tuesday in Washington's 5-4 win.
The pitching matchup features Atlanta's Kevin Gausman (2-3, 4.33 ERA) against Washington's Anibal Sanchez (0-6, 5.10). Sanchez is set to return from the injured list after being sidelined since May 17 due to a left hamstring strain.
