MILWAUKEE (AP) — Matt Olson and Travis d'Arnaud hit back-to-back homers twice, and the Atlanta Braves defeated the Milwaukee Brewers 6-2. Olson and d'Arnaud went deep on consecutive pitches from Freddy Peralta in the fourth inning to tie the game as the Braves erased an early 2-0 deficit. Olson hit a 416-foot drive to center field and d'Arnaud added a 412-foot shot to left-center off Nick Mears in the eighth to help the Braves leave Milwaukee with a series victory. Austin Riley put Atlanta ahead for good on a tiebreaking single with two outs in the seventh.
