Atlanta second baseman Ozzie Albies continues to put together a historic season.
Albies had a home run and four RBIs on Tuesday in the team's 8-5 win over Washington. That gives him 27 home runs and 93 RBI. Atlanta has never had a middle infielder drive in 100 runs, and he will have a chance formore Wednesday when the Braves (73-64) host the Nationals (57-81) in the middle game of a three-game series.
Albies has homered in four straight games since returning to the lineup after missing two games with a sore right knee. No Braves' second baseman has homered in five straight since Hall of Famer Rogers Hornsby did so in 1928.
