July 13 - Marcell Ozuna said Monday night's Home Run Derby will be a show.
Ozuna got an early start on it Friday night in San Diego, where he belted his 25th and 26th homers of the season to fuel the Atlanta Braves' 6-1 win over the Padres. Atlanta will shoot for a series win on Saturday in San Diego.
The Braves' designated hitter is enjoying a second straight banner season, this one sticking out even more because he's been the most reliable bat in a lineup that's regressed quite a bit from the one that cracked 307 homers in 2023.
