Atlanta 17, Arizona 2 at Chase Field on Thursday, April 2, 2026 was the kind of night road teams dream about. Matt Olson went deep in the first, the Braves dropped eight in the fifth, and Jorge Mateo and Mauricio Dubón added late homers. Reynaldo López got the win with five innings of one-run ball. In AthX Engine’s daily ledger, Olson finished with 31 fantasy points (hitting) and López 22 (pitching)—both led their sides of the April 2 card.
Game narrative / key moments
Olson put Atlanta up 1–0 in the first (ESPN box). The Diamondbacks scratched a run back, then the fifth inning got away from Ryne Nelson: walks, doubles, and Austin Riley’s two-run double made it 8–1 before Michael Harris II plated two more. Atlanta kept pouring it on—Dubón in the sixth, Mateo’s two-run shot in a five-run ninth—and finished 17–2. Ildemaro Vargas doubled in Arizona’s second run late.
Nelson took the loss with seven earned charged in less than five innings.
