The Atlanta Braves’ wins over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park on Tuesday and Wednesday might not have seemed like a big deal at first glance, but Braves outfielders Marcell Ozuna and Adam Duvall combined to make history during the dog days of summer.
Ozuna and Duvall became the first teammates in the history of Major League Baseball to hit three home runs in back-to-back games, an astonishing feat considering the 117-year history of the world’s premier baseball league.
Ozuna got the party started on Tuesday night in the Braves’ 10-3 win, going yard off of Ryan Weber, Robert Stock, and Kyle Hart and driving in a total of six runs.
On Wednesday, Duvall was the Braves’ main offensive threat in a 7-5 triumph that saw him blast two-run bombs off of Mike Kickham and Andrew Triggs as well as a solo shot in the eighth inning off of Ryan Brasier to give the Braves insurance.
Amazingly, the home run that gave the Braves the lead earlier in the game came off of the bat of none other than Marcell Ozuna.
The Braves will look to extend their streak of three home run games to three on Friday as they host the Washington Nationals.
