Atlanta Braves first baseman Freddie Freeman hit his 23rd double of the season during Monday night’s loss to the Seattle Mariners.

With two outs in the first inning, Freeman hit the ball to deep right field and ran to second. An error by Mariners right fielder Mitch Haniger allowed Freeman to make it to third base.

In the Braves next at bat, Matt Kemp walked, but Nick Markakis left both Braves on base when he grounded out to end the inning.

The Braves lost Monday night’s game 6-5, but play the second of three games against the Mariners on Tuesday at 7:35 p.m. at SunTrust Park.
