Olson Helps Braves Defeat Pirates, 8-4
Soggy conditions did not keep Atlanta and Pittsburgh from playing their scheduled game.

No one was more impactful than Matt Olson in the 8-4 Atlanta win over Pittsburgh. Olson, who finished 5th in the AL in extra base hits with 74 in 2021, went 3 for 4 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 and driving in 3. Atlanta goes to 67-76, Pittsburgh to 70-73.

The Braves got an important contribution from third baseman Kahlil Watson, who in the top of the first hit a curveball to right for a 2-run double. It was his 17th double of the season and put the Braves ahead, 3-0.

"Solid performance from our side," said Braves manager Jeet Chakravorty.
