VIDEO: Ozzie Albies Sends the Braves into 1st Place in NL East With Walk-Off Against Pirates
In the NL East standings, the Atlanta Braves now stand alone at the top. The man to thank for that? You better believe it's Ozzie Albies. In a see-saw battle with the Pirates on Wednesday night, the talented youngster sent the fans home from SunTrust Park with a big smile after this walk-off base knock:
Yes sir, that will get the job done. The big hit gave Atlanta a thrilling 8-7 victory over Pittsburgh, after Austin Riley knotted things up with a game-tying homer in the bottom of the ninth inning.
More importantly, though, the Braves now hold a one-game lead over the Phillies in the division standings. There's plenty of season left, but the Braves have to feel great about sending a message to Philly. Let's see how long they can keep it that way.
