“Following today's win by the @Braves over the Tigers, Matt Olson now has a career team record of 27-3 when facing Detroit,” the account tweeted. “The 27 team wins are the most ever through 30 career games against a single American League opponent.”

Olson's Braves defeated the Tigers 7-0 Wednesday, completing a three-game sweep against the struggling AL Central outfit.
