Braves look to break HR record in season finale vs. Nationals

October 1 - After breaking several individual and franchise records earlier this weekend, the Atlanta Braves have their sights on one more milestone when they finish the regular season against the visiting Washington Nationals on Sunday.

Atlanta (104-57) is three home runs shy of breaking the major league record of 307 set by the Minnesota Twins in 2019. Designated hitter Marcell Ozuna moved the team closer to the record with a go-ahead three-run homer in a 5-3 win over the Nationals on Saturday night.

Spencer Strider struck out seven in five innings in the victory to break the Braves' modern-era, single-season strikeout record of 276 set by John Smoltz in 1996.
