Marcell Ozuna homered in a four-run first inning, Huascar Ynoa pitched 5 1/3 strong innings and the Atlanta Braves went deep five times to beat the Chicago Cubs 10-0 on Wednesday night for their third straight victory.

Ynoa added his first career homer in the fourth as Atlanta shut out the Cubs for the second straight night. Chicago has lost five in a row.

Freddie Freeman went 4 for 5 and hit his seventh homer in the sixth.

The Braves' bats have woken up since they scuffled for just one hit while getting swept by Arizona in a doubleheader last Sunday.

In the first, Freeman singled before Ozuna's second homer sailed 453 feet into the seats in left-center. Ozzie Albies followed with a double, and Austin Riley hit his third homer over the left-field fence.

Atlanta went up 6-0 in the second when Ynoa and Ronald Acuna Jr. singled and scored on Freeman's double. Acuna scored on a headfirst slide after hesitating at third on the relay throw.

The first three homers came off Kyle Hendricks (1-3), who gave up seven runs and 11 hits in 3 2/3 innings. Hendricks' ERA rose by nearly two runs per game to 7.54. He has allowed 10 homers in 22 2/3 innings this season.

Hendricks has given up seven first-inning homers, the second most of any season in his career. He allowed 10 homers in the first inning of 2018 - in 33 starts. He surrendered a career-high four homers in the first against the Braves during a 13-4 loss on April 17 at Wrigley Field and is 0-3 with a 12.00 ERA with nine homers allowed in his last three starts against Atlanta.

Cubs starters have a 7.91 ERA in the team's 14 losses.

Ynoa (2-1) gave up four hits and two walks with nine strikeouts. He pitched around Jake Marisnick's triple in the second and singles by Anthony Rizzo and Matt Duffy in the third. He left in the sixth after giving up a walk to Duffy and a single to Kris Bryant.

The Braves led 8-0 in the fifth on Guillermo Heredia's RBI double. Albies homered in the sixth to make it 10-0.

Rizzo made his second career appearance on the mound, getting two outs in the seventh, including a strikeout of Freeman. Duffy, the starting third baseman, recorded the final out. Infielder Eric Sogard pitched the eighth.

The Braves will allow 100% capacity at Truist Park beginning May 7 against Philadelphia. Protective measures will stay in place that includes wearing a mask unless actively eating or drinking.

Adbert Alzolay (0-2, 5.40 ERA) will face the Braves for the second time in his career. Bryse Wilson (1-1, 5.00) starts for Atlanta.
