Braves' Ozzie Albies: Belts first homer since return

Albies went 1-for-5 with a solo home run in Sunday's win over the Marlins.

Hitting right-handed against righty Darren McCaughan, Albies lofted the second pitch he saw in the first inning down the left-field line. It was Albies' first long ball in three games since coming off the IL, and first since July 6. The 27-year-old still isn't able to bat left-handed due to soreness in his wrist, but that might not be a bad thing for his production over the final week of the regular season -- he has just a .225/.292/.360 slash line this year in 298 plate appearances while hitting from the left side of the plate.
