ATLANTA — A return home worked out well for Freddie Freeman and the Atlanta Braves.

Freeman, after a slow start in Atlanta’s season-opening road trip, went 4-for-5 with a home run and three RBIs, and had a key, go-ahead hit in the sixth inning as the Braves defeated the Tampa Bay Rays 7-4 in their home opener at Truist Park on Wednesday night. The victory snapped Atlanta’s two-game losing streak, both losses at Tampa Bay.
