Freeman launches career homer No. 250

Freddie Freeman made history yet again with a two-run shot to left-center field to forever put his name in the record books with 250 career home runs.

“Just means I’ve been around for a long time," Freeman said. "In my opinion, you don't set out for milestones, you set out for World Championships."

In the top of the second inning with Ehire Adrianza on first, Freeman extended the Braves' lead to 4-0 with a 415-foot shot off Brewers starter Brett Anderson. Freeman now has 10 home runs this season.

Freeman had struggled at the plate in May, entering Saturday's matchup with only seven hits and a .163 average (7-for-43). Despite his woes, nearly a third of his hits this season have been homers. He is tied for second in home runs (10) and tied for third in walks (25) in the National League.

“I've been grinding, I really have, but at least the hits I have gotten have gone over the fence, so there's some damage,” Freeman added. “But, you know me, I like to be more consistent than a home run every once in a while. But I feel like the last five, six games have been much better, so, hopefully, I can continue that.

"Because that's the thing for me, that's all I care about in this game is to be consistent, that you can count on every single day and, obviously, haven’t been able to do that the first six weeks, so, hopefully, I can get that going the next four months.”

The reigning National League MVP is currently sixth all-time in Braves history in home runs, and continues to show why he’s one of the game's best.
