CHICAGO -- Ozzie Albies didn't waste any time getting the Braves on the board on Monday vs. the Cubs. The 21-year-old rocketed the second pitch of the game -- a 90-mph fastball from left-hander Jose Quintana -- into the right-field bleachers at Wrigley Field for a leadoff home run.
It is the fourth leadoff homer of Albies' brief career and his third this season. It's also his second leadoff homer at Wrigley Field.
The 5-foot-8 second baseman is now tied for the Major League lead with 13 homers on the season.
