Atlanta Braves outfielder Ender Inciarte had a day on Thursday.

In the Braves 10-4 win over the Colorado Rockies, Inciarte hit two home runs and stole second twice.

In the top of the third inning, Inciarte hit his first solo home run of the game to deep right to even the score 2-2. Incirate's third inning homer was his first since July 19 and his seventh of the season. Inciarte's second homer of the game was a fly ball hit to center field in the top of the fifth.

In the first and seventh innings, Inciarte stole second base on a throwdown from home.

Inciarte went 2-for-3 on Thursday with two RBIs and two walks.

The Braves had two other solo homers in Thursday's win— one by catcher Tyler Flowers in the second and the other by Freddie Freeman in the fifth.

Here are Inciarte's highlights from Thursday’s series finale at Coors Field:
