Olson’s 301st career homer gave Atlanta the lead, and Raisel Iglesias earned his sixth save as the Braves improved to 3-2.
On Tuesday, Matt Olson hit a go-ahead 412-foot home run in the ninth inning, lifting the Atlanta Braves to a 3-2 victory over the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park.
J.P. Crawford hit a two-run homer in the third inning to give Seattle an early 2-0 lead, but the Braves' offense remained patient until the ninth.
Olson's 301st career home run came off closer Andrés Muñoz, who has surrendered three home runs in 16 appearances this season, already exceeding his 2025 total.
Atlanta's bullpen struck out seven of 10 batters faced to secure the win, while Mariners All-Star catcher Cal Raleigh returned as a designated hitter after missing three games.
