Smacks 24th home run Swanson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run and two strikeouts in a 4-0 win over the Padres on Friday.

Impact Swanson took San Diego starter Reiss Knehr deep to right in the second inning to give Atlanta an early 3-0 lead that proved to be all the support Max Fried needed. The homer was the 27-year-old's first since Sept. 1, as he's been slumping lately with a 3-for-25 mark over his last seven games.

Drops to seventh in order Swanson will start at shortstop and bat seventh Wednesday against the Nationals.

Impact Despite going 2-for-4 with a pair of runs in Tuesday's 8-5 win to end a 1-for-20 skid at the plate, Swanson will remain in a bottom-third spot in the order for a third straight game. Swanson had been batting out of the No. 6 spot to close out August, but both Adam Duvall and Travis d'Arnaud have since moved ahead of him in the lineup.

Productive out of fifth spot Swanson went 1-for-2 with two walks and a run Sunday in Atlanta's 3-1 win over Baltimore.

Impact Swanson didn't produce any home runs or steals during a six-game week that included visits to Miami and Baltimore, but he remained a key cog in the lineup for one of the majors' hottest teams. While making all six of his starts in the No. 5 spot in the batting order, Swanson provided a .318/.444/.364 slash line during the past week to help Atlanta extend its winning streak to nine.
