First homer with new team Olson went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Sunday's loss to the Reds.

Impact Olson touched up rookie flamethrower Hunter Greene for his first home run with Atlanta. The first baseman doesn't seemed fazed by the outside pressures that come with a new $168 million contract extension. He is batting .571 with a 1.576 OPS through four games as Atlanta's two-hole hitter.

Three hits in Friday's win Olson went 3-for-5 with a double in Friday's 7-6 win over the Reds.

Impact He wasn't able to turn the knocks into production despite a good night overall for the Atlanta offense, but the runs and RBI will come for Olson. The 28-year-old reached triple digits in each category last season in a much less potent Oakland attack, and Olson has reached base five times in his first two games with his new club.
