Denver, CO – Matt Olson delivered a career-night, blasting two home runs and driving in six runs as the Atlanta Braves snapped a six-game losing streak with a thrilling 11-8 victory over the Colorado Rockies.

The game was a back-and-forth affair, with both teams trading blows. Sam Hilliard had a standout performance for the Rockies, contributing a home run, two doubles, and a career-high five RBIs. Despite Hilliard’s efforts, the Rockies couldn’t hold on to the lead.

Ozuna continued his hot streak with his third consecutive home run, while Soler also impressed with three hits and three RBIs. Olson’s two-homer game was his second in ten games.

The Braves bullpen was crucial in securing the victory. Pierce Johnson earned the win with 1 1/3 innings of scoreless relief, while Raisel Iglesias closed out the game for his 24th save.

With the win, the Braves halted their downward spiral and gained momentum heading into the series finale.
