WATCH: Matt Olson hits a "breakfast bomb" against the Orioles on Sunday

The Braves first baseman gets Atlanta an early lead with a shot to left-center field

The Atlanta Braves are playing the early game on Sunday, a Peacock/NBC exclusive, as they're trying to win the series against the Baltimore Orioles.

Matt Olson's determined to make it happen.

The Braves 1st baseman sent a 3-1 pitch from Orioles starter Tyler Wells 413 feet to left-center at 108 mph off the bat, staking Braves starter Bryce Elder to a 1-0 lead.  

Here's the video: 

The homerun, Olson's 10th, puts him one ahead of Sean Murphy and Ozzie Albies for the team lead in homeruns.  

The Braves are off on Monday before starting a two game set at home on Tuesday against the Boston Red Sox. First pitch is 7:20 PM ET. The game broadcast, with Voice of the Braves Brandon Gaudin, is available inside 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 680 AM/93.7 FM The Fan or outside the Atlanta market on the Atlanta Braves Radio Network or MLB.com.
