Although the Atlanta Braves lost Monday’s game to the Arizona Diamondbacks 10-2, Sean Rodriguez had a memorable night.

A week after returning from a five-month stint on the disabled list on July 17, Rodriguez hit a two-run home run during the fifth inning on Monday.

Rodriguez’s blast to left field scored the Braves only two runs of the game.

The Braves play the second of three games against the Diamondbacks on Tuesday at 9:40 p.m. from Phoenix’s Chase Field.
