Freddie Freeman got in on the fun too, smashing his 22nd home run on the year to give the Braves a 4-1 lead over pitcher Tyler Chatwood and the Chicago Cubs.

That's now 31 runs batted in for Freeman in the month of June. Just another day at the office for him.
Swanson added two more an inning later and it's now 6-1.
