Ozzie Albies came up big for the Atlanta Braves on Friday night as they defeated the Miami Marlins 6-4. A pinch-hit double from Ronald Acuña Jr. and a Dansby Swanson walk kept the seventh inning alive and brought Albies to the plate.
Ozzie’s at-bat was the difference maker. His first-pitch bloop single to left allowed Ronald and Dansby to score and put the Braves back on top.
