Olson homers twice, Braves score 21 in rout of Mets MORE:
Atlanta connected six times in its fourth win in five games, running its major league-leading total to 224 homers. Olson had his seventh multi-homer game of the season and No. 20 for his career. Sean Murphy, Austin Riley and Nicky Lopez also homered for the NL East leaders.
“I asked him if he’s ever pitched and he’s like ‘Yeah, I’ve got a knuckleball,” Braves manager Brian Snitker said. “That was awesome, too, that he could go out there and do that, so we didn’t have to warm up anybody behind him or anything like that. Very impressive first outing for him.” Lopez is the third position player this season to homer and toss a scoreless inning of relief on the mound.
“I think any time you get called to the big leagues, it’s pretty special and it’s pretty cool,” said Winans, who said he is friends with current homegrown Mets such as Francisco Álvarez, Tylor Megill, Mark Vientos and Josh Walker. “But getting drafted by those guys, it definitely made me dream about Citi Field. So getting to come here and do it against those guys made it a little bit more special.
“It’s hard, but they’re trying,” Mets manager Buck Showalter said. “Fortunately we’ve got a game to take away that feeling here before too long. That’s the way I look at it.”
