Summary
Matt Olson, baseball’s reigning Iron Man, crushed a 49-degree launch angle homer in the sixth inning — pushed further by the wind like Lou Gehrig himself was lending a hand — to give the Braves a 4-3 win over the Blue Jays on Lou Gehrig Day, when all MLB players wore a 4 patch honoring the legend’s 2,130-game streak. Olson, with 843 straight games played since May 2, 2021, is now ninth on the all-time list and closing in on Stan Musial’s record. He even thought the ball might be an out — a reminder of baseball’s wild unpredictability. The win was anchored by Bryce Elder’s solid six-plus innings.
