ATLANTA — Matt Olson might be putting together the least talked about 50 home run chase in major league history. Olson homered for the fourth straight game Thursday night and helped the Atlanta Braves snap a three-game losing streak with an 8-5 win over the St. Louis Cardinals. The homer was Olson’s 47th of the season which is a significant number in that it ties him with Hall of Famers Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews for the second most in franchise history.
“Wow, pretty good company,” Brian Snitker said of Olson after the game.
