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.
