WATCH: Orlando Arcia blasts one to the deepest part of Oracle Field to extends Atlanta's lead to two runs

The Braves shortstop gets the rare fastball from former Braves reliever Luke Jackson and absolutely CRUSHED it

Orlando Arcia's career high in home runs came in both 2017 & 2019, when he sent fifteen out as the starting shortstop for the Milwaukee Brewers. 

One trade and a few seasons as a backup later, Arcia's finally getting close to setting a new personal record. 

The Braves shortstop took former Braves reliever Luke Jackson deep in the 6th inning, sending a rare fastball from "Sliderman" and launching it 402 feet to the deepest part of the park, just getting it over the wall in left-center for a solo shot that extended the Braves lead to two runs.
