WATCH: Orlando Arcia CRUSHES a home run in Milwaukee for an early Braves lead
Orlando Arcia debuted in the majors back in 2016 with the Brewers, and played there for five years until being traded to Atlanta early in the 2021 season.
He may have had some feelings about being traded, and he took them out on a baseball.
Arcia worked a 3-2 count and then jumped on a grooved 97 mph fastball, sending it 402 feet to left field and over the head of former teammate Christian Yelich.
It was a two run homerun, as Sean Murphy had singled earlier in the inning. The base hit moved Matt Olson into scoring position, where Marcell Ozuna brought him in with a sacrifice fly before the homer.
Atlanta's holding a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the 2nd inning, with Michael Soroka back out there looking for a cleaner inning than the base hit fest Milwaukee had in the 1st inning.
