Mandatory Credit: Dale Zanine-Imagn Images The Atlanta Braves hit three home runs to back a solid pitching effort from Grant Holmes and earn a 6-2 victory over the visiting Minnesota Twins on Sunday to sweep a three-game series.
Matt Olson, Drake Baldwin and Marcell Ozuna all went deep to help the Braves extend their overall winning streak against Minnesota to 11 games.
Holmes (2-1) pitched 5 2/3 innings and allowed one run on four hits, four walks and a season-high seven strikeouts. The right-hander escaped bases-loaded jams in the fourth and fifth innings to allow only one run on a wild pitch. It was his first career win against the Twins.
Enyel De Los Santos got the final out in the sixth inning and pitched the seventh, allowing one run. Pierce Johnson finished with two strikeouts over two scoreless innings.
The Twins’ Joe Ryan (1-2) went five innings, allowing six runs on eight hits and one walk with five strikeouts. He allowed all three home runs.
Minnesota relievers Louis Varland, Jhoan Duran and Danny Coulombe each delivered a scoreless inning and did not allow a base runner.
The Braves got on the board in the first inning on a long two-run homer by Olson, his third, then made it 3-0 in the second on an RBI single by Austin Riley.
Baldwin clubbed a two-run opposite field homer, his second, in the third inning and Ozuna hit a solo homer, his fourth, to start the fifth inning.
Minnesota’s Byron Buxton hit his fourth home run, a 434-foot solo shot to center field in the seventh inning. The Georgia native went 2-for-5 with a double and was 5-for-13 in the series.
The Twins are now 2-7 in interleague play and just 4-15 against the National League since Aug. 25, 2024. Atlanta is 5-4 against American League teams, all over their past nine games.

Osmnáctku čeká poslední zápas ve skupině. Soupeřem bude Švédsko
Výkony české reprezentace na mistrovství světa zatím nejsou oslnivé. Sobotní výhrou 4:2 nad Švýcarskem si hokejisté zajistili, že nebudou hrát o záchranu. „Pro nás bylo nejdůležitější získat tři body, což se nám povedlo. Výkon pořád není podle našich představ, bylo to trochu nervózní. Je škoda, že jsme v první třetině nedali gól,“ uvedl Čermák.Postup do play off má se svými svěřenci jistý, ovšem pokud se ve čtvrtfinále chce reprezentace vyhnout zatím stoprocentní Kanadě, musí Švédy bezpodmínečně porazit.Češi jsou v tabulce skupiny B zatím čtvrtí, přičemž ztrácí bod na Němce, s nimiž ale prohráli vzájemný zápas. Švédové mají šest bodů a jsou druzí. Nestačili zatím pouze na Spojené státy, které českou skupinu vyhrají.
Commanders depth chart analysis: How did the NFL Draft help shape the roster?

Aston Villa objecting to Premier League over potential Tottenham game rescheduling
Aston Villa are objecting to the Premier League over a potential scheduling change for their home game against Tottenham Hotspur.The league fixture is due to be played on Sunday, May 18 but Tottenham said in a statement on Sunday that they are in discussions with the Premier League to change the date.AdvertisementTottenham are in the semi-finals of the Europa League, where they face Norwegian side Bodo/Glimt, and the competition’s final takes place three days after the scheduled Premier League game against Villa, on Wednesday 21.Villa’s match against Spurs is the final home match of the campaign for Unai Emery’s side, but the club fear that a rescheduling — likely to be moved to midweek — will mean a shorter turnaround between matches and could disrupt preparations for a defining set of fixtures in Villa’s pursuit of European qualification.Tottenham’s visit comes […]
What’s next for Kirk Cousins, Falcons after QB-needy teams filled spots in NFL Draft?
FLOWERY BRANCH, Ga. — The NFL Draft is over. The Atlanta Falcons have two new edge rushers, two new defensive backs and an offensive tackle.And they still have Kirk Cousins.Cousins has asked the Falcons to allow him to join a team he can start for, whether via trade or release. Atlanta has been steadfast it will not release the quarterback, but the conversations that happen between team executives during draft week often lead to player movement of all kinds, which offered hope for some sort of resolution. Instead, the Falcons still have the NFL’s most expensive backup quarterback.Advertisement“We wouldn’t share any private communication, but really, nothing’s changed with that,” general manager Terry Fontenot said when asked Saturday if he had any discussions about a Cousins deal last week.The Falcons’ stance on a potential Cousins trade hasn’t changed either.“Just like on […]
Zemřel dvojnásobný vítěz NBA Barnett
Barnetta v roce 1959 draftoval jako pětku celek Syracuse Nationals, kde strávil dva roky. Poté hrál za Los Angeles Lakers a od roku 1965 devět sezon za Knicks. V průměru dával 15,6 bodu na zápas. Jeho číslo 12 klub později slavnostně vyřadil z užívání a loni vstoupil Barnett do basketbalové Síně slávy v americkém Springfieldu.
