Although the Atlanta Braves lost Thursday's series finale against the Los Angeles Dodgers 7-4, second baseman Ozzie Albies had a career night hitting his first home run in the majors.
In the bottom of the ninth inning, Albies hit a fly ball to left center for a three-run home run— becoming the youngest Brave to hit a home run since Andruw Jones in September 1997.
The homer at SunTrust Park also recorded Albies' first major-league hit and RBI.
