Matt Olson has hit 25 home runs at an average of .252 and has driven in 79 RBI’s so far this season. Pitcher Charlie Morton had 12 strikeouts in the last match and was on song as he helped Atlanta win the game. Speaking after the game, Braves manager Brian Snitker said of Morton, “Holy cow, that was vintage Charlie right there. His breaking ball was something else.”

Even though they sit in first place in the NL East table with a win percentage of .641, they have lost three of their last five matches. They were embarrassed in Game 1 as the Braves beat the 13-1.

Pete Alonso has hit 29 home runs at an average of .277 and has driven in 97 RBI’s so far this season. Pitcher Taijuan Walker exited the game because of back spasms and after the game, he said, “I tried to bend over. When I tried to come back up, it just locked up on me. I’ve never had anything like this before. The training staff is not too concerned about it. So I’ll get an MRI tomorrow and kind of see how I feel.”
