WATCH : Ozzie Albies squeezes one inside the foul pole to tie things up in Cleveland
Atlanta's offense has been quieter this series against Cleveland. After hitting eleven homers against Miami at home, they've launched less longballs during their time in Cleveland but still did enough to win game one of the series.
Ozzie had enough of that "quiet" nonsense.
After a Ronald Acuña Jr leadoff single out a runner on in the 5th inning, the Braves second baseman took a Shane Bieber 2-0 fastball, left middle-middle over the plate, 369 feet out to right field, just barely squeezing it inside the foul pole for a game-tying shot.
The homer, Ozzie's 21st of the season, is the 3rd time that Ozzie has had 20 homeruns before the All-Star Break, and gives Atlanta its first runs of the game off of 2020 Cy Young-winner Shane Bieber.
Atlanta's continuing to bat in the 5th against Bieber, with Travis d'Arnaud sending a one-out single to left field that scored Austin Riley from 2nd to give Atlanta a 3-2 lead.
Tonight's game broadcast, with Voice of the Braves Brandon Gaudin, is available inside Braves Country on Bally Sports South and is available on MLB.TV outside of the broadcast area. The radio call, with Ben Ingram, is available locally on 680 AM/93.7 FM The Fan or outside the Atlanta market on the Atlanta Braves Radio Network or MLB.com.
