Freeman went 4-for-5 with two home runs, two RBI, three runs scored and a stolen base in Sunday's 6-5 loss to the Pirates.
The Braves were swept in dramatic fashion, but it was due in no part to the performance of Freeman, who stole a base and scored in the first inning before launching solo homers in the fifth and seventh. He entered the game with a .238 average and no home runs or RBI, but perhaps this outburst can get him going as he looks to carry a large burden for what was last year one of baseball's worst offenses and could continue that weakness in 2017.
