Freeman went 2-for-4 with a home run, four RBI and two runs scored in an 8-5 victory over the Nationals on Friday.
The matchup with Nats ace Stephen Strasburg didn't faze Freeman one bit, as the first baseman connected on a three-run homer in the fifth inning to vault his team into the lead. On a Braves squad that ranks last in baseball in home runs by a significant margin, Freeman is the lone bat in the lineup who has consistently supplied power. His 22 homers put him just one short of his personal best, but the dead weight surrounding him in the lineup has resulted in Freeman generating a meager 53 RBI and 65 runs on the season.
