Albies tagged Blue Jays’ right-hander Chad Green for a 373-foot (99.9 mph EV) solo shot in the ninth inning that pulled the Braves to within three runs at 6-3. That would be his only hit in four at-bats on the evening. The switch-hitting second baseman is off to another solid start to the 2025 season, slashing .250/.311/.471 with five homers, 10 RBI and a pair of stolen bases in his first 17 games.

Albies gets the nod atop Atlanta’s lineup to face Toronto lefty starter Easton Lucas with Michael Harris II bumped down to the sixth spot. The 28-year-old second baseman has seemingly overcame an early-season slump at the plate with two homers and a pair of stolen bases over his last seven contests.

Not even being spotted five unearned runs over the first two innings could help the Braves get their first win of the season. Albies did all he could though with a run-scoring double and then later a single that loaded the bases with two outs and the heart of the Braves’ order coming to the plate. They would not cash in on that golden opportunity and eventually blew their five run lead to fall to an unthinkable 0-7. This lineup will certainly come around despite their collective lackluster start.
