Home runs by Dansby Swanson and Jeimer Candelario capped a five-run first inning, which set the Chicago Cubs on their way to an 8-6 win over the visiting Atlanta Braves on Saturday.
Atlanta became Major League Baseball's first team with 70 wins this season thanks to Friday's 8-0 shutout to open the three-game weekend series in Chicago. Saturday's first inning fast established there would be no repeat of Friday's rout.
Cody Bellinger, who reached first safely on the error and then stole second, scored on Swanson's 17th home run of the season. That is when Olson homered off Adbert Alzolay, scoring Austin Riley after Riley's one-out single, to halve an 8-4 deficit down to 8-6.
