WATCH: The Braves erupt for a seven-run second inning against the Marlins
The Braves erupted for a seven-run second inning against the Miami Marlins, which included two home runs.
The first home run came off the bat of Marcell Ozuna. This happened to be a grand slam which was the Braves first of the season. This ball was absolutely ambushed traveling 404 feet with an exit velocity of 111.6 mph.
It's exciting to see Ozuna hitting balls hard again. If he could get hot, it would be a massive boost for this ball club.
Michael Harris II hit the second home run of the inning, giving the Braves a 6-0 lead. This was his first long ball of the season. It's good to see Harris II back healthy and hitting the ball hard.
This homer from Harris II traveled 391 feet and had an exit velocity of 100.7 mph.
Goodness, the Braves hit the ball hard, and they hit the ball hard often. Through two innings, Braves hitters have already hit seven balls with exit velocities over 100 mph; this is absurd.
The seventh run of the inning came off an Ozzie Albies double.
Hopefully, the Braves can add to this lead over the next seven innings.
Let's take a look at the Braves massive second inning.
