Braves hit four home runs in win over Mets on July 4

The Atlanta Braves launched four home runs in a 5-3 victory against the New York Mets on July 4. This performance marked a shift from a prior 10-game stretch without a two-homer game, during which the Braves managed just 14 home runs, the lowest in MLB. Manager Walt Weiss emphasized the importance of power in the team's identity, a trait reinforced by Matt Olson's two home runs in the game. The Braves, now with 108 home runs this season, demonstrated an ability to rediscover their offensive strength after a lackluster period. They have six games this season with at least four home runs and improved to 26-5 when hitting multiple homers.
