ATLANTA -- Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman homered for his 1,500th career hit and collected a career-high six RBIs during the 29-9 win claimed over the Marlins on Wednesday night at Truist Park.

¡°That¡¯s a lot of hits and hopefully there¡¯s a lot more to come,¡± Braves outfielder Adam Duvall said.

Freeman singled during the Braves' 11-run second inning and then tallied his 1,500th hit with a two-run homer during the third inning, making the score 13-5. The four-time All-Star entered the game knowing he was two hits shy of this milestone. He found out by asking a bat boy why they had requested one of the baseballs with which he¡¯d recorded a recent hit to be thrown back to the dugout for commemoration.

Freeman is the 12th player in Braves franchise history to reach the 1,500-hit milestone.?Chipper Jones (2,726), Dale Murphy (1,901) and Andruw Jones (1,683) are the only other players with more hits than Freeman in Atlanta history, which dates back to 1966.??

¡°It was nice to get it out of the way and move on,¡± Freeman said. ¡°I already got a text from Chipper. It¡¯s pretty special.¡±
