Braves News: Doubleheader sweep, Matt Olson

Related Topics: Atlanta Braves, Matt Olson

Matt Olson hit another two home runs on Saturday, both in the day game, as the Braves absolutely shelled the Mets over the two games of the doubleheader. Those were his 41st and 42nd home runs of the season, setting him two home runs clear of Shohei Ohtani for the MLB lead in homers on the season. The franchise record is 51 homers in a season, set by Andruw Jones, and Matt is well on pace to eclipse that. It would be really cool for Matt to establish his place in franchise history that way and really place his stamp on the franchise history after entering the franchise in an awkward manner as the de facto replacement for a franchise legend like Freddie Freeman.
