VIDEO: Freddie Freeman Gets Braves Going With 1st-Inning 2-Run Shot off White Sox's Lucas Giolito
By Karl Rasmussen
Freddie Freeman wasted no time in getting Atlanta's offense off to a strong start on Sunday. After Ronald Acuña led off the game by drawing a walk off Chicago's Lucas Giolito, Freeman delivered the hurt with a two-run shot to give the Braves an early lead in the bottom of the first.

Freeman was all over the off-speed pitch from Giolito, and sent it out the park in a hurry. A lot of fans weren't even in their seats yet by the time Freeman graced the Chop House with an early souvenir.
He's now up to 37 on the year and has tied Anthony Rendon for the MLB lead with 111 RBI.
