Mandatory Credit: Dale Zanine-Imagn Images Matt Olson had two of Atlanta’s six hits, including a tiebreaking homer in the sixth inning, to send the Braves to a 4-3 win over the visiting Toronto Blue Jays on Tuesday in the opener of their three-game series.
Olson was 2-for-4 and improved his RBI total to 46, tied for third in the National League. Ozzie Albies added two hits and two RBIs.
Atlanta starter Bryce Elder (5-3) pitched 6 2/3 innings and allowed three runs on six hits and one walk, striking out six to earn his first career victory against Toronto.
Robert Suarez got the final out of the seventh, striking out George Springer with a runner at second base. Suarez then worked a scoreless eighth, getting Vladimir Guerrero Jr. to ground into a double play. He struck out two in 1 1/3 innings.
Raisel Iglesias pitched around a pair of singles to throw a scoreless ninth and earned his 11th save. He has converted 29 consecutive save opportunities since July 28, 2025.
Toronto starter Kevin Gausman (4-4) pitched six innings and allowed four runs on five hits and two walks. He struck out eight. The Blue Jays have lost three in a row.
The Braves struck for two runs in the first inning. Ronald Acuna Jr. worked a walk and scored when Michael Harris II lined a double past Daulton Varsho. Harris scored on a sacrifice fly from Ozzie Albies.
But the Blue Jays tied it 2-2 in the top of the second on an opposite-field homer to right field by Kazuma Okamoto, his team-leading 13th. The two-out blast followed a double by Yohendrick Pinango.
Atlanta regained the lead in the third. Olson went the other way for a two-out double and scored when Albies singled to left field.
Toronto tied it in the sixth when Nathan Lukes singled, extending his hitting streak to a career-high nine games. Lukes went to third on Vladimir Guerrero’s double and scored on Varsho’s sacrifice fly.
Atlanta went ahead 4-3 in the bottom of the sixth when Olson hit a solo shot that just cleared the wall in right field. The blast, Olson’s 17th of the season, ended a string of seven straight outs recorded by Gausman.

Charlie Woods' U.S. Junior run ends with bogey in playoff
Charlie Woods watches his tee shot during the 109th Florida Amateur Championship at The Club at Admiral’s Cove on June 11, 2026, in Jupiter, Florida. Charlie Woods’ run at the 2026 U.S. Junior Amateur ended early Wednesday with a bogey on the first playoff hole.
The 17-year-old son of Tiger Woods fell shy of advancing to match play at Saucon Valley Country Club in Bethlehem, Pa.
Charlie Woods was one of 14 golfers in the playoff, competing for two spots in match play. The Florida State commit went 76-70 in stroke play, topping his previous performances of 80-74 in 2025 and 82-80 in 2024.
Woods was 6-over-par through five holes in Monday’s round before rebounding strong and playing his next 31 holes in 1-under par.
In Wednesday’s playoff, Woods’ tee shot at the par-5 first hole found the middle of the fairway, about 270 yards from the hole. With two players ahead of him having already carded birdies, he went for the green in two but found thick rough. His pitch ended up on the fringe and his birdie chip slid past the hole, ending his day.
Eli Wessel, Hudson Kutchma and Leo Gao birdied to advance to the second playoff hole, where Wessel and Kutchma made pars to move on to match play.
Woods is heading into his senior season of high school and is expected to sign with the Seminoles, where he will join No. 1-ranked junior Miles Russell in the 2027 recruiting class. Russell shared medalist honors this week and entered match play as the No. 2 seed.
Woods entered the week ranked No. 174 by the American Junior Golf Association.

Stephen Curry first active player showcased by Hall of Fame
Sep 25, 2022; San Francisco, CA, USA; Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry (30) poses with the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophies during Media Day at the Chase Center. Mandatory Credit: Cary Edmondson-Imagn Images The Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame will break with tradition Friday when it opens an exhibition highlighting the career of Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry. No other player in league history has received such an honor while still active.
The exhibition is titled “Stephen Curry: Beyond the Arc” and takes a look at the four-time NBA champion and two-time MVP both on and off the court. Curry’s business team partnered with the Hall of Fame on the project.
“The exhibit is designed to explore his multifaceted legacy as a basketball icon, entrepreneur, philanthropist, and family man,” the Hall of Fame said in a news release.
This will be the first look at Curry’s legacy at the Hall of Fame in Springfield, Mass., but not the last. He is certain of being selected for enshrinement into the hall as soon as he is eligible, post-retirement.
“When I think about my journey, I think about the people who believed in me, the work that happened when nobody was watching and the moments that shaped me on and off the court,” said Curry, 38.
“To have that story told while I’m still playing is something I don’t take lightly. My hope is that fans walk through this experience and feel the joy, the purpose and the gratitude that basketball has given me, and maybe see a little bit of their own journey in it too.”
A closing date has not been set for the exhibition.

Cardinals OL Isaiah Adams facing gun charges in Canada
Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams (74) watches from the sidelines during the team’s practice at State Farm Stadium on July 29, 2025. Arizona Cardinals offensive lineman Isaiah Adams is facing multiple charges related to a guns and gangs investigation in his native Canada.
Adams turned himself into Durham Regional Police in the Toronto area on Sunday on charges of possessing a weapon by crime, possessing a restricted or prohibited firearm without a license, possessing a loaded firearm and possessing a prohibited device.
His 27-year-old sister, Allyson Mae Adams, was charged with the same crimes as part of the investigation.
Adams, who turned 26 on Tuesday, has since returned to Arizona and is expected to report to training camp on Wednesday, according to ESPN. The Cardinals begin practice on Thursday.
The Cardinals said Tuesday that they were aware of the situation.
“Out of respect for the process, we will refrain from commenting further at this time,” a team spokesperson said.
A third-round draft pick by Arizona in 2024, the 6-foot-4, 315-pound Adams appeared in 32 games with 16 starts in his first two NFL seasons. He is expected to compete with rookie Chase Bistonis for the starting job at right guard.
