Ozzie Albies homers twice, walks it off vs. MIL

Ozzie Albies

ATL 2nd Baseman #1

Player Stats

Ozzie Albies went 3-for-4 with two homers, three runs scored, and three RBI to lead the Braves to a 4-3 win over the Brewers on Saturday.

The Braves had been held without a hit through four innings until Albies took Kyle Harrison deep for a solo homer to lead off the fifth. He added a base hit and scored a run in the seventh, then came through in a big spot in the ninth. With a runner on and trailing by one run, he slugged a two-run homer off Aaron Ashby to walk it off for Atlanta. The 29-year-old second baseman is hitting .284/.335/.453 with 12 homers, 50 runs scored, and 40 RBI across 322 plate appearances.

Ozzie Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Nationals on Tuesday.

Albies’ home run was his 21st of the season. He hit a solo shot off Jake Irvin in the second inning. Albies hadn’t hit a home run since August 11 against the Mets, a span of 18 games. He’s hitting .254 with a .725 OPS and 68 RBI this year.
Ronald Acuña Jr.

ATL Right Fielder #13

The slumping Ronald Acuña Jr. is batting cleanup Friday against the Rockies.

Acuña had previously hit only first and second this season. Ozzie Albies, who is hitting .230/.286/.374 in 398 plate appearances since May 10, is batting second tonight.

Ozzie Albies went 2-for-3 with a go-ahead single in the bottom of the eighth as the Braves bested the Dodgers 4-3 on Tuesday.

Albies also had a sac fly, because of course he did. Tonight’s was his 13th of the season, overtaking Henry Aaron and Del Crandall for the Braves’ single-season record (oddly enough, both of them did it in 1960). Vinnie Pasquantino in 2023 is the only other player to have 13 sac flies in a season this decade. Francisco Lindor, with 15 in 2016, was the last to have more than that. According to Baseball Reference, the record since sac flies were first tracked in 1954 is 19 by Gil Hodges in 1954.

Ozzie Albies hit a solo homer in a win over the Mets on Tuesday.

Albies broke a scoreless affair with a solo homer off an otherwise excellent Nolan McLean to give Atlanta a 1-0 lead. It also gives Albies 20 homers on the season, and he’s driven in 64 over Atlanta’s 120 games. A very solid — if unspectacular — season for Albies.

ATL 2nd Baseman #1

Ozzie Albies is not in the Braves’ starting lineup for Thursday evening’s tilt against the Marlins.

There haven’t been any indications that Albies is dealing with any sort of injury, so it looks to be just a breather for the 29-year-old infielder. Mauricio Dubon will cover second base in his absence and will bat fifth against Marlins’ righty Janson Junk.

Ozzie Albies hit a solo homer to help the Braves to a win Tuesday over the Marlins.

Albies smashed a solo homer in the third inning off Ryan Gusto, the only run Atlanta picked up off Gusto before he exited the game. Albies now has 19 homers on the season, and the RBI ups his total to 63.

Ozzie Albies went 1-for-4 with a solo home run against the Orioles on Saturday.

Albies’ home run was his 17th of the season. He hit a game-tying solo home run in the eighth inning off Rico Garcia. The home run gave the Braves life momentarily before the Orioles had a walk-off win in the bottom of the ninth inning. Albies has hit two home runs in his last three games. He’s hitting .264 with a .755 OPS and 57 RBI.

Ozzie Albies went 0-for-5 and struck out three times Tuesday against the Padres.

Albies isn’t exactly struggling this month, but he has fanned 21 times in just 17 games, which is incredibly unusual. In fact, it’s the most times he’s struck out in a month since Sept. 2021. He struck out just nine times in 23 games in June. Of course, Albies really hasn’t been hot at any point since April; he’s batting .234/.289/.381 since May 1.

The Braves only mustered three hits and two runs off Cardinals’ starter Michael McGreevy, and Albies was responsible for both runs and two of the three hits. He’s had a tremendous bounce back season thus far with 13 home runs and a .769 OPS as we approach the All-Star Break.

Jordan Romano got the final two outs and picked up the save against the Cardinals on Saturday.

Romano’s save was his 15th of the season. He entered after the Rockies allowed two runs in the ninth inning, creating a save situation. Romano blew the save in Friday night’s game, but bounced back the very next day. There should be no doubt about his status as the Rockies’ closer.

Mason Adams allowed three runs in 4 2/3 innings and got a no-decision in the Rockies’ 10-7 victory over the Cardinals on Saturday.

Adams gave up eight hits, walked one and struck out seven. The 26-year-old was making his third MLB start and first career start at Coors Field. Adams has recorded 17 strikeouts in his first 13 2/3 innings. His 3.95 ERA is supported by his 3.58 xFIP. While Adams lacks experience, he’s getting enough strikeouts to entice fantasy managers with his next start lined up against the weak-hitting Tigers on the road next weekend.

Manny Machado went 1-for-2 with two walks and a solo home run against the Yankees on Saturday.

Machado’s home run was his 25th of the season. He hit a solo shot off Carlos Rodon in the fourth inning. Machado’s home run was his first since August 18 against the Mets, a span of 13 games. It’s one thing to go on a homer drought, but it’s another entirely when you’re also hitting .221. Hopefully, Saturday was a sign that Machado can end the season strong after hitting just one home run in 28 games in August.
