History made! Matt Olson now holds the Braves franchise record with 741 consecutive games played. https://t.co/mflkC6As Via @Braves on X

What happened: Matt Olson played in his 741st consecutive game on Saturday, breaking the Atlanta Braves Olson had tied the previous mark at 740 games a day earlier.

Why it matters: The streak underscores Olson's availability as the anchor of a Braves lineup that has won five of its last five... the team enters the weekend at 54-38 with a two-game winning streak. Durability at first base has been a constant for Atlanta through a season built on consistent offensive production.

By the numbers: Braves: 54-38 this season, last five games W-W-L-L-L, current streak W2, averaging 4.9 runs scored and 3.9 allowed.

What to watch: The Braves are scheduled to play the Cardinals next, with the start delayed by rain in the St. Louis area.
