Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run, a walk and three runs scored in Wednesday's win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Olson drew a walk in the opening frame before coming around to score on a Michael Harris grand slam. The first baseman would then add a home run of his own to lead off the third, giving him his fourth long ball this month and his 21st on the campaign. Olson has now hit safely in six consecutive games, tallying three homers, a double, eight RBI and six runs over that stretch. He's also driven in at least one run in three of his last five contests.

Olson went 2-for-4 with two homers, six RBI and two runs scored while also drawing a walk in Saturday's win over the Rockies.
EDGE Analysis
Olson walked in his first trip to the plate before launching a two-out grand slam in the third to put Atlanta on top 5-3. But the first baseman wasn't done there, adding a second long ball in the seventh to give him a season-high six RBI in the contest. Olson has now recorded multiple hits in three of his last seven games, batting .307 (8-for-26) over that stretch with four extra-base hits, eight RBI and three runs scored. It marked his second multi-homer game of the campaign.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in a 4-2 victory against the Marlins on Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Olson hit one of three Atlanta homers, swatting a two-run shot to right field in the first inning. The first baseman has gone deep in two straight games and in four of his past six contests, belting five homers and driving in eight runs during that span. While he's very unlikely to come close to the 54 long balls he racked up last year, Olson has given himself a shot to reach 30 homers for the fourth straight season with his recent power surge, as he's now up to 18 on the campaign.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a walk and two solo home runs in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Brewers.
EDGE Analysis
The slugger took Freddy Peralta deep in the fourth inning before clobbering a Nick Mears offering in the eighth. Travis d'Arnaud followed up each blast with a homer of his own, as they became the third pair of Atlanta teammates to go back-to-back twice in a game -- Fred McGriff and David Justice accomplished the feat in 1993, with Javy Lopez and Andruw Jones also doing it in 1998. Olson's first multi-homer performance of 2024 comes as part of a hot streak that has seen him bat .290 (9-for-31) over the last eight games with four long balls and six RBI.

Olsen went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run Sunday against the Mets.
EDGE Analysis
Olson's fourth-inning blast was his 15th of the season and plated three. After going nearly three weeks without a homer, Olson went deep Sunday for the second consecutive day. He now holds a modest five-game hitting streak, batting 7-for-20 (.350) during that stretch.

Olson went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
Olson took rookie Michael Mercado deep in the second inning to break out of a 14-game homerless drought. It was Olson's second separate streak of 14 or more games without a homer this season, after only having one such streak all of last season. The 30-year-old entered the game in a 10-for-65 slump with just two extra-base hits and three RBI in his last 18 games, so he'll try to find some positive momentum headed into the All-Star break.

Olson went 2-for-5 with a two-run home run and a second run scored in Friday's 8-1 win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
His fourth-inning shot off Carlos Rodon helped chase the southpaw from the game as part of a three-homer, eight-XBH barrage from Atlanta. Olson's bat has come alive in June, and through 74 plate appearances on the month he's slashing .309/.365/.574 with four of his 12 long balls on the year and 10 of his 40 RBI.

Olson went 3-for-3 with a walk, a double and two runs scored in Sunday's loss to the Rays.
EDGE Analysis
The first baseman extended his hitting streak to 10 games, and his extra-base hit streak to five games, with another impressive performance. Olson is batting .410 (16-for-39) over that 10-game stretch, pushing his slash line on the season to .261/.342/.471 with 11 homers and 38 RBI in 69 contests.

Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run in a 9-2 win against Tampa Bay on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Olson was part of a big fifth inning for Atlanta, swatting the team's third and final homer in the frame. The first baseman extended his hitting streak to nine contests, a stretch during which he is batting .361 (13-for-26) with two home runs and five RBI. Olson's 11 homers are second-most on Atlanta but are well off the pace of the 54 long balls he belted last season.
