Atlanta Braves second baseman Ozzie Albies dove for a line drive Tuesday against the Washington Nationals and recorded a double play with the help of shortstop Dansby Swanson.

With one out and two on base in the top of the seventh, Albies dove to catch the ball hit by Nationals’ Brian Goodwin for the first out and flipped the ball to Swanson for the second at second base.

The Braves went on to win their first of three games against the Nationals, 13-6.
