Braves outfielder Ronald Acuna is on the second-longest on-base streak of his career. He singled and walked in Thursday’s 4-0 win over the Cardinals, extending his on-base streak to 25 games.

Acuna’s run dates back to May 18 and is the longest current on-base streak in the majors. He’s chasing his career-best stretch of 32 consecutive games on base, which he achieved June 19 through July 28, 2019.

Acuna is in the middle of a monstrous season that’s firmly placed him in National League MVP talks. He’s hitting .292/.396/.606 with 18 homers, 42 RBIs and 53 runs scored. He also stole his 14th base Thursday.
