Olson’s 36th HR Seals Braves Win | Atlanta Braves News

Matt Olson crushed a towering three-run homer on a 3-0 pitch in the seventh inning, giving the Braves a crucial 5-3 win over Arizona and ending their home sweep bid. With his 36th homer of the year, Olson also claimed the MLB lead in extra-base hits with 66 — and his third career 30-30 season (30 HR, 30 SB) puts him among elite company. The game was tied at two before Olson’s blast, sparked by Arizona’s surprise solo shot off a pinch-hitter. Atlanta’s starter held strong for six innings despite knee issues, allowing just one run, while the bullpen locked down the win after a tense ninth. Solid defense and timely hitting built the lead, capped by Olson’s walk-off heroics. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
