DENVER (AP) — Matt Olson had two homers and a career-high six RBIs, Marcell Ozuna and Jorge Soler homered, and the Atlanta Braves broke a six-game losing streak with an 11-8 victory over the Colorado Rockies on Saturday night.

Olson hit a two-run homer off Angel Chivilli (0-1) to break an 8-8 tie in the seventh inning and Soler added a solo shot in the eighth to help the Braves avoid their longest losing streak in nearly eight years (Aug. 13-20, 2016).

Sam Hilliard had a homer, two doubles and a career-high five RBIs for the Rockies, who have lost 10 of the last 11 against the Braves at Coors Field.
