In a thrilling late-inning showdown, the Atlanta Braves edged out the Seattle Mariners 3-2 Tuesday night, thanks to a clutch ninth-inning homer from Matt Olson. The Braves' slugger launched his 301st career home run—a 412-foot solo shot off Mariners' reliever Andrés Muñoz—to break a 2-2 tie and secure the victory.

Olson, who hit his 300th career homer just a night earlier, is on an absolute tear. Batting .308 with a staggering 1.077 OPS, he leads the National League in home runs (13) and RBIs (33). The Atlanta native has found his groove with the Braves, adding 159 homers to his career total since his early days with the Athletics.

Braves starter Bryce Elder delivered another gem, tossing six innings of two-run ball while allowing just two hits. His lone blemish came in the fourth inning when J.P. Crawford took him deep for a two-run homer. Still, Elder lowered his ERA to a stellar 2.02, good for fourth in the NL, and notched his sixth quality start in eight outings.

Ozzie Albies continued his red-hot streak, extending his hit streak to 17 games—tying a franchise record. He also leads the league with 47 hits, adding a single and a run scored in the fourth inning. Mauricio Dubón drove in both of Atlanta's early runs with a two-out double down the right-field line, scoring Albies and Olson.

The Braves' bullpen locked it down from there: Dylan Lee struck out the side in the seventh, Robert Suarez worked a perfect eighth to improve to 3-0, and Raisel Iglesias—fresh off the injured list—slammed the door for his sixth save of the season.

Mariners starter George Kirby was solid over seven innings, allowing two runs on five hits with five strikeouts, but his offense couldn't muster enough support. Seattle now looks to even the series Wednesday, with lefty Martín Pérez (2-1, 2.22 ERA) taking the mound for Atlanta against Mariners right-hander Bryan Woo (1-2, 4.61 ERA).
