Atlanta Braves shortstop Ozzie Albies has been hot the last two weeks, and he clubbed another dinger on Saturday against the Phillies.
Ozzie Albies led the way going 2-for-4 with a two-run home run and three total RBI all coming against one of the top starters in the league, Ranger Suarez. The win for Atlanta could be significant in more ways than one asAlbies might finally be breaking out of his long slump. After a strong showing offensively in the first month of the season , the three-time all-star stagnated like most of his teammates. From May 1 to June 26, he batted just .216 with four home runs and 20 RBIs.
Look, these recent offensive surges haven’t shown up in the win column yet. But as everyone is starting to get it together and remain consistent, everything will start to fall into place. Even if the Braves go out and acquire another bat at the deadline, that new bat will still be only one of nine in the lineup. The others still need to step up. Forget deep playoff runs for a moment, if this team just wants to snap thatThe addition of some timely hitting by Albies could do the trick. The Braves have been unlucky so far during Albies’s hitting streak, but the return of his timely hitting will inevitably help them break through.
The Braves wrap up their series with the Phillies on Sunday and look to win their second series against their National League East rival this season. First pitch is set for 1:35 p.m. EST with Reynaldo López set to take the hill for Atlanta.
