Ozuna went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double, three runs and four RBI during Thursday's Game 4 win over the Dodgers. The 29-year-old hit a solo homer during the fourth inning and his RBI double during the sixth gave the Braves a 3-1 lead while chasing starter Clayton Kershaw. Ozuna is 11-for-40 with three homers, three doubles, 10 RBI and 14 strikeouts through nine playoff games as the Braves are one win away from advancing to the World Series.

Ozuna went 1-for-4 with a two-run homer in Game 2 of the NL Wild Card Series against the Reds on Thursday. Ozuna struck out two more times after going hitless with three strikeouts in Game 1, but the homer means he's now driven in a third of Atlanta's runs this postseason. His career playoff slash line sits at .283/.313/.362 through 11 games, nine of which came last season with the Cardinals.

Ozuna went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in the Braves' 9-1 loss to the Red Sox on Sunday. He's probably not going to be an NL MVP finalist alongside his teammate, Freddie Freeman, but Ozuna was one of the top offensive contributors in all of baseball during the shortened 2020 regular season. Ozuna finishes with a .338/.431/.636 batting line, 18 home runs, 56 RBI and 38 runs scored in 267 plate appearances.

Ozuna went 3-for-4 with a two-RBI single and a pair of walks in Friday's 8-7 extra-innings win over the Red Sox. Ozuna's biggest contribution was his go-ahead two-run single in the eighth inning, but that was just the beginning of a back-and-forth sequence. Atlanta got the win in the end as Freddie Freeman hit a walkoff two-run homer. Ozuna is up to 17 homers, 55 RBI, 37 runs scored and a .335/.429/.629 slash line through 58 games this season.

Ozuna went 4-for-5 with two home runs, a double and five RBI in Tuesday's 11-1 win over the Marlins. Ozuna smacked two of the Braves' five long balls on the night, giving Bryse Wilson (five shutout innings) plenty of run support in the right-hander's first start of 2020. Since opening September with a three-homer game, Ozuna hasn't slowed down much at the dish. He's slashing .379/.455/.759 with nine home runs, 30 RBI and 15 runs in 21 games on the month.
