WATCH: Ozzie Albies picks up his 100th RBI of the season to give Atlanta an early lead
Ozzie Albies is the 3rd Atlanta Braves position player to log 100 RBIs this season, reaching the milestone in the 3rd inning tonight against Washington.
Ronald Acuña Jr led off the inning with a triple down the left field line - it just barely stayed fair and rolled all the way into the corner.
And then, against a drawn in infield, Ozzie sent one just fair down the right field line, easily scoring Ronald from 3rd and leaving himself standing on second with an RBI double.
Austin Riley followed with a single up the middle, scoring Albies from 2nd. A fourth straight hit, this one from Matt Olson, put runners on the corners with no outs.
It's the 2nd time through the order for the Braves hitters, and they've obviously adjusted to rookie Jake Irvin and how he's trying to get hitters out.
