Ozzie Albies added onto the Atlanta Braves' score with a two-run home run over the rival Philadelphia Phillies in Game 3 of the NL wild-card series.
In the fourth inning of Game 3 during the NL wild-card series on Thursday, October 1, Atlanta Braves' Ozzie Albies delivered an electrifying two-run home run, propelling his team to a commanding 5-0 lead over division rival Philadelphia Phillies. The switch-hitting player, who began his at-bat swinging left-handed, made contact with a strike thrown by Zack Wheeler and sent the ball soaring into the right field.
The Atlanta crowd erupted in celebration as soon as Albies connected, with him raising his arm high and pointing upwards upon rounding the bases. This marked Albies' fourth career postseason home run.
