Matt Olson hit his 51st home run of the season in the Atlanta Braves\' 7-6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies on Tuesday night.
Olson tied a Braves\' record set by Andruw Jones in 2005.
\"I thought Matt would be the guy to break the record,\" Jones said last weekend in Atlanta when his number was retired. \"He\'s just got that swing. I\'m pulling for him, and hopefully he can break it.\"
Olson was raised in the Atlanta area and grew up a fan of Jones and the Braves.
\"It\'s a cool feeling,\" Olson said. \"I watched him growing up and know the kind of player he was. It\'s cool to be mentioned with him.\"
