Matt Olson homered for the fourth straight game and Ronald Acuna Jr. added a pair of solo home runs to help the Atlanta Braves beat the visiting St. Louis Cardinals 8-5 on Thursday to end a three-game skid and salvage a game from the three-game series.
Olson broke a 3-3 tie in the fifth inning with a 410-foot shot to center field. Olson's league-leading 47th homer leaves him four away from matching the team record of 51 set by Andruw Jones in 2005.
Acuna opened the game with a home run and added his 34th in the sixth inning.
