Swanson went 3-for-5 with two home runs and six RBI in Saturday's 12-2 win over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
After recording only three extra-base hits -- all doubles- - in his first 10 starts of August, Swanson has now gone yard three times in the past two days, bringing his long ball total up to 23 for the season. He'll look to continue mashing in Sunday's series finale, as he'll start at shortstop while batting fifth.

Swanson went 3-for-4 with a grand slam, a two-run homer and an RBI single in Saturday's 8-1 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson knocked in seven of the Braves' eight runs Saturday night, as the shortstop set a career-high in RBI. His two-run home run in the sixth knocked Milwaukee starter Brandon Woodruff out of the game, and his grand slam in the seventh blew the game wide open. The native Georgian also pushed his hit streak to seven games in the process. In order to make room for newcomers Jorge Soler and Adam Duvall, Swanson hit seventh in the order for the first time since May 7. By the looks of things, he's alright with the switch.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's win over the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
The shortstop set a new career high in homers with 18 by taking Jeurys Familia deep in the eighth inning. Swanson has hit safely in five straight games and eight of nine, slashing .333/.385/.611 over that nine-game stretch, but his .242/.297/.455 line on the season remains a slight disappointment.

Swanson went 1-for-4 with a grand slam and a walk Thursday against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Swanson ignited Atlanta's offense by smacking a grand slam in the third inning. It was his 17th home run of the season and third in his last seven starts. Despite the power surge, Swanson is just 3-for-26 since the All-Star break, though it is encouraging that he has only struck out five times in that span. Overall, Swanson is hitting .232/.290/.445 with 42 runs scored and 46 RBI across 391 plate appearances on the campaign.
