What happened: Seven of Matt Olson's homers have come in his last 11 games. His 34th home run broke a scoreless tie in the Bronx.
Why it matters: The surge has tightened the home run race entering the stretch run. Olson also reached 300 career homers in May.
By the numbers: The seven homers during this 11-game span account for 20% of Olson's 35 this season.
What to watch: Olson's next homer would move him out of the tie and into sole possession of the MLB lead.
