Tuesday's blast comes after the 20-year-old turned heads in Monday's doubleheader with leadoff bombs in both contests.
ESPN.com noted Acuna became the youngest player in the live ball era (since 1920) to go deep in four straight contests after Monday's two wins.
The Braves are in first place in the National League East and a game ahead of the Philadelphia Phillies. If Acuna continues to spot his team an early lead with his power, it will be difficult for the Phillies to make up even the narrow deficit heading into the stretch run.
