Braves Crush Angels 8-2, Matt Olson Homers

0:00On April 9th, Atlanta Braves took down the Los Angeles Angels 8-2 on Wednesday in Anaheim. Matt Olsen crushed his third homer of the season, a two-run shot in the third that broke a tie and swung momentum their way. Grand Homes dominated on the mound, going six and two-thirds innings while allowing just two runs on five hits to pick up his first win. The Braves jumped out early with two runs in the first and second innings, thanks to SmartBase running from Austin Riley in timely hits. Angels clawed back to tie a one-hore hay solar, led off their second with his third homer, right after serving a seven-game suspension from a fight the night before. Homes escaped the bases loaded jam in that inning by striking out key hitters and forcing outs, keeping the game level. Fans saw some fight from the Angel side, with Joe Adele going three for four, but heirs like Zach Netto's throw hurt them bad. Braves kept pouring it on later, with Mauricio DuBone ripping a two-run double in the fifth and Drake Baldwin's singling home a run in the sixth.
