Olson powers out of a slump with a round-tripper

Matt Olson has had a bit of a rough series versus the Marlins. He fought out of it and muscled out Marlins reliever AJ Puk’s sweeper over the right field wall:

Olson turned an 85 MPH pitch into a 104 MPH homer that landed 360 feet from home plate. Up until that point, neither bullpen had given up a run in a cleanly pitched game after the starters left. The Braves added 2 insurance runs in the 9th to go up 6-3.

Where to catch the Braves next!

The Braves will grab a plane back home this evening as they gear up for an early season inter-league game with the suddenly solid Baltimore Orioles and their incredible bullpen, with the first pitch scheduled for 7:20 ET. Braves Today will be the go-to site for everything a Braves’ fan would want to know. Braves Today Podcast will fill you in on anything else you could possibly want about the Braves. The game will be broadcast in Braves Country on Bally Sports South and is available on MLB.TV outside of the broadcast area. The radio call, with Ben Ingram, is available locally on WIFN 1340 AM/103.7FM or outside the Atlanta market on the Atlanta Braves Radio Network or MLB.com.
