By Sean Facey
The Braves are absolutely piling it on now. Already up 9-3 in the bottom of the eighth against the New York Mets, catcher Brian McCann and second baseman Ozzie Albies demolished back-to-back home runs to really put things out of reach.
Make it 2️⃣2️⃣ home runs in the @Braves homestand.

You can never be up by too many runs, right?
The two blasts off of Mets reliever Drew Gagnon staked the Braves to a 12-3 lead. The home run was capped off a sensational night at the plate for McCann, had reached base in all five plate appearances during the game.
The following blast was good for Albies' fourth RBI of the evening and his third hit of the ballgame.
