Ronald Acuna Jr. had a home run among his two extra-base hits to bolster his MVP case as the visiting Atlanta Braves continued to establish their dominance in the National League with a 6-3 victory Friday against the Los Angeles Dodgers.
Travis d'Arnaud and Marcell Ozuna also hit home runs as the Braves won the first two games in a four-game series between the top two teams in the NL. Ozuna had three hits.
Left-hander Max Fried (6-1) went seven scoreless innings with a season-high 10 strikeouts as the Braves increased their winning streak to five games with nine victories in their last 10 games.
