DBacks updates: Braves strike first off Ryne Nelson, lead after 3 innings

ATLANTA – Matt Olson launched a solo homer and the Braves added one more run later in the second inning, and they lead the Diamondbacks, 2-0, after three innings on Sunday afternoon.

Diamondbacks right-hander Ryne Nelson had a full count on Olson and tried to throw a fastball to the outside corner. The pitch wound up over the heart of the plate and Olson drove it out to right field to make it 1-0 to lead off the second inning.

The Braves collected three more hits in the inning, all singles, to score an additional run.
