Matt Olson returns to the lineup, Ronald Acuña Jr. remains out

After struggling through the first two games of the series, the Atlanta Braves’ offense broke out in Saturday’s 6-3 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. Coming into the game, Atlanta had scored just one run over the first two games of the series and had managed just one extra-base hit. They banged out 14 hits in Saturday’s win including homers by William Contreras and Michael Harris.

Austin Riley shifted to first base Saturday as Matt Olson was out of the starting lineup for the first time this season. Olson later entered the game as a defensive replacement, but didn’t see an at-bat.
