Slugs two-run blast Olson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run and a walk in a win over the Diamondbacks on Thursday.

Impact Olson boosted the Athletics' lead to 3-0 with his 385-foot blast to right field in the fourth inning, a homer that plated Mark Canha. The slugger snapped a brief 0-for-10 skid that had encompassed his last three games with what was his ninth round tripper of the season, but his .170 average over 113 plate appearances has plenty of room for improvement.

Scores three runs Olson went 3-for-5 with three runs scored in Sunday's 15-3 win over San Francisco.

Impact Prior to Sunday, Olson's last seven hits were all home runs, so his three-single day was certainly uncharacteristic. Thanks to his eight home runs this season, the 26-year-old owns an .808 OPS despite an unsightly .185 average.

Keeps mashing Wednesday Olson went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in a win over the Angels on Wednesday.

Impact Olson opened the scoring on the afternoon for either club with one of his mammoth trademark homers, blasting a 454-foot shot to right in the first inning. The 26-year-old has had an interesting statistical month thus far, as five of his six hits in August have left the yard and he's also drawn 10 walks. However, Olson has also struck out on 12 occasions and is hitting just .136 (6-for-44) during that span, leaving him with an unorthodox .149/.313/.418 slash over his first 83 plate appearances of 2020.

Belts three-run homer Olson went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in a win over the Astros on Sunday.

Impact Olson's 418-foot shot to center field in the third inning staked the Athletics to a 4-0 lead. The slugger had entered the game in a brief 1-for-12 slump over the prior three contests, although his one hit during that span had also left the yard. Olson now has four of his five home runs on the season in August, although with only one other hit during the month, his average sits at an unsightly .156 since the calendar flipped.
