VIDEO: Brian McCann Hits 3-Run Shot for 2nd Homer of the Game off Chris Archer
By Seth Carlson
The Braves-Pirates game in Atlanta might have demonstrated to us that the cannon is mightier than the archer. In the bottom of the sixth with two on and one out against the Pirates' Chris Archer, Braves catcher Brian McCann took one deep into the chophouse in right field for a three-run homer.

The shot was McCann's second homer of the game, his first multi-homer game with Atlanta since 2013. It was also the catcher's fifth homer of the season and extended the Braves' lead to 7-4. As a team, the Braves hit five home runs against the Pirates' pitching staff Tuesday night.
