New York Mets at Atlanta Braves

Multihomer games have been quite common for the Braves going back to 2018, when they made the first of seven consecutive trips to the postseason. But there was still reason to celebrate the one Michael Harris II, Ozzie Albies and Matt Olson produced in a 5-3 win over the Mets on Friday night at Truist Park. “We all love homers and we're capable of doing that,” Braves manager Walt Weiss said. “It's been part of our identity here for a long time.” Harris’ two-out single in the ninth was Atlanta’s fifth hit of the night and the only one that wasn’t a home run. This marked the first time the Braves have ever hit four home runs while tallying five hits or less. The Astros did this against the Rangers on May 16. No other MLB team has constructed this rarity this year. Olson’s second multihomer game of the year highlighted the Braves’ sixth four-homer game of the season. The team hadn’t even had a three-homer game since May 30. But truly noteworthy was that this was Atlanta’s first multihomer game within a span of 11 games going back to June 21.
