Clubs homer No. 25
Olson went 1-for-3 with two walks, a solo home run and a second run scored in Thursday's win over the Pirates.
Analysis
The All-Star first baseman took Mitch Keller deep in the first inning, and Pittsburgh did its best to pitch around him the rest of the night. Olson is up to 25 homers on the season, tied for third in the National League, and five of them have come in the last seven games -- a stretch in which he's batting .276 (8-for-29) with two doubles, six RBI and nine runs.

Launches two homers in loss
Olson went 2-for-5 with two homers, three total RBI and a walk in Monday's extra-inning loss to the Mets.
Analysis
Olson left the yard twice, demolishing a solo homer to right field off Freddy Peralta in the third inning before coming through with a game-tying, two-run shot to left field off Devin Williams in the ninth inning to force an extra frame. This was a series to remember for Olson, who homered twice in both Friday's win and Monday's loss to bookend the four-game set against the rival Mets. It has been another stellar season for the veteran first baseman, who is slashing .273/.344/.546 with 24 homers, 23 doubles, 57 RBI and 61 runs across 89 contests.
