Albies’ biggest moment came later in the game but he put Atlanta on top early with this first inning double that scored Ender Inciarte from first. It is so much fun to watch these two guys run the bases.
Mike Foltynewicz looked good in his return from the disabled list allowing just one hit and one run over five innings. He walked four and struck out four.
Tie ballgame. Bottom of the 11th.

Albies came through for Atlanta in the 11th launching his first career walk-off home run to give the Braves the win. Albies was 3-for-6 on the evening with a pair of doubles and his 17th home run of the season.

“He (Albies) never ceases to amaze me… He has started to swing the bat good and is making adjustments. He is really a stellar guy for us.”

"Overall, the arm felt great and I am not worried about that. I just have to work on the fastball command and make better pitches."
