MIAMI -- Freddie Freeman has been providing his usual MVP Award-caliber production since Braves bench coach Walt Weiss predicted the first baseman was about to get on a roll.
Freeman extended his recent tear by constructing the 13th multi-homer game of his career at Marlins southpaw Jarlin Garcia's expense during Saturday night's game at Marlins Park. It marked the first time the left-handed slugger homered twice in a game against a southpaw.
After Freeman notched the first five-hit game of his career on Wednesday, Braves manager Brian Snitker said just before the start of the contest that Weiss had told him the two-time All-Star was "fixin' to get hot.
