The Atlanta Braves got the jolt they needed on Wednesday night—and it came in the form of a Matt Olson moonshot. The Atlanta first baseman crushed a grand slam in the sixth inning to break open a tight game and lead the Braves to a crucial 8-3 win over the Los Angeles Angels at Truist Park.
With the Braves vs. Angels series tied 1-1, Olson stepped to the plate with the bases loaded and the game hanging in the balance. On a 1-0 count, he wasted no time, launching a pitch into the right-field seats to stretch Atlanta’s narrow 3-2 lead into a commanding 7-2 advantage.
