The Atlanta Braves are starting to receive the offensive performance they expected from Marcell Ozuna, who will take a three-game home-run streak into the middle contest of a three-game series at the Miami Marlins on Saturday evening.
Ozuna went 2-for-5 in Atlanta's 5-3 win on Friday and extendedhis hitting streak to seven games, during which he is batting .310 (9-for-29).
It's quite a difference from a previous stretch in which he endured a 16-game period without an extra-base hit and went without a homer for 22 games.
"We know what a guy like Marcell can do," Braves manager Brian Snitker said.
