Stays hot with two doubles Olson went 2-for-3 with a walk, two doubles, a run scored and an RBI in Sunday's win over the Red Sox.

Impact The first baseman has reeled off three straight multi-hit performances, with four of his seven hits during that stretch going for extra bases including homers Friday and Saturday. Those were Olson's multi-hit efforts in May however, as he began the month slashing .173/.254/.365 with a 35.6 percent strikeout rate in 14 games. Despite that cold spell, he has respectable power numbers on the year with nine homers and 25 RBI in 47 contests, and he's more than capable to stretching his current heater straight through into June.

Homers again Saturday Olson went 3-for-5 with a two-run home run in Saturday's loss to the Red Sox.

Impact Olson helped Atlanta get off to a fast start, slugging a two-run shot to center field in the first inning. He added a pair of singles to finish with his second straight multi-hit effort. Olson had gone 15 games without multiple hits before collecting a pair of knocks Friday, and over his past two contests he's gone 5-for-9 to lift his season batting average 18 points (from .214 to .232).

Rare multi-hit game Friday Olson went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 4-2 win over Boston.

Impact It was just the first multi-hit game of the month by Olson, who did go deep for the fourth time in May. The All-Star first baseman has only four multi-hit efforts in 2025, and he's batting a mere .196 with seven RBI and seven runs scored over his last 56 at-bats. Olson is ninth in the National League in walks (29), however, and he figures to see a boost in RBI upside once Ronald Acuna (knee) is ready to make his season debut.
