How to watch the Braves tonight: Time, TV, starting pitchers April 25

His full name is Ozhaino Jurdy Jiandro Albies. His last name is pronounced “ALL-bies.” He was born Jan. 7, 1997 in Willemstad, Curacao. Two key former Braves from Curacao are Andruw Jones and Andrelton Simmons. The Braves signed him in July 2013. He made his major league debut Aug. 1, 2017. Albies' home run off Tony Cingrani on Aug. 3 was his first major league homer. That also was the first homer hit by a player born in 1997. He is a switch-hitter, learning to do that in 2013.

With Ronald Acuna making his major league debut, and Johan Camargo starting at third base for the first time this season, the Braves will attempt to win their first game in Cincinnati this season when they meet the Reds starting at 6:40 p.m.

The Braves (12-10) led the first game of the series 2-0 after 4-1/2 innings before a pitching meltdown led to a Reds comeback. The Braves lost 10-4, with most of the damage coming in a five-run sixth for the Reds (5-18).

On Tuesday night, the Braves trailed 5-0 after six innings, but rallied to a tie with four runs in the ninth inning, but the Reds prevailed 9-7 in extra innings. The Braves are 1-5 this season in extra-innings games.
