Ozuna now in the triple crown race
Marcell Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a run scored and two doubles against the Nationals on Friday. On a night when the Braves offense had only four hits against Nationals starter Jake Irvin, Ozuna managed to double off Irvin twice. Ozuna is up to .316 on the season and could be in competition with Shohei Ohtani for the triple crown in the National League if he keeps this up.
Abrams starting to heat up
CJ Abrams went 1-for-4 with a double, a run scored and a stolen base against the Braves on Friday. Abrams’ steal was his ninth of the season. After racking up 47 steals last year, fantasy managers sure would like to see him run more this year. The double was also nice to see as Abrams continues to hit better and for more power than most people expected when he was a prospect.
