Albies, Inciarte lead Braves over Phillies

Ozzie Albies homered on the first pitch of the game and the Atlanta Braves never looked back in a 10-1 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.

Brian Snitker shook up the Braves’ lineup prior to Sunday’s game dropping Ender Inciarte to ninth and going with Albies and Ronald Acuña Jr. moving into the top two spots in the order. The move paid off early as Albies jumped all over the first pitch he saw from Phillies starter Vince Velasquez and drove it out to right for his ninth home run of the season.
