Olson took some good cuts and the hometown crowd was certainly behind him but it didn’t translate into a deep run for Atlanta’s first baseman.

It took Short 10 games to notch his first long ball with the Astros, tagging Nathan Eovaldi for a solo shot in the sixth inning. The round tripper was Short's first in the big leagues since 2023, as he went homerless in 88 plate appearances with three different teams during 2024. He's slashing .286/.348/.524 since being called up July 2.
