Freddie Freeman can officially be classified as a "one-man team" on Tuesday night against the Miami Marlins. In the fourth inning, Freeman hit a solo home run to left field to tie things up at one run apiece. He wasn't done there. Freeman came up again in the fifth inning and hit his second bomb of the game, this time to right-center field to give the Atlanta Braves a 2-1 lead.

The Marlins have kept themselves in the game by shutting down every batter on the Braves not named Freddie Freeman.

Unfortunately, that hasn't been enough, as he clubbed home runs No. 32 and 33 in consecutive plate appearances, handing the lead to Atlanta.
