Atlanta got the win in the end as Freddie Freeman hit a walkoff two-run homer. Ozuna is up to 17 homers, 55 RBI, 37 runs scored and a .335/.429/.629 slash line through 58 games this season.

Massive day in blowout win Ozuna went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double and five RBI in Tuesday's 11-1 win over the Marlins.
Impact Ozuna smacked two of the Braves' five long balls on the night, giving Bryse Wilson (five shutout innings) plenty of run support in the right-hander's first start of 2020. Since opening September with a three-homer game, Ozuna hasn't slowed down much at the dish. He's slashing .379/.455/.759 with nine home runs, 30 RBI and 15 runs in 21 games on the month.
