ATLANTA — Now in his 10th MLB season, all of them spent with the Atlanta Braves, 29-year-old second baseman Ozzie Albies has played on seven teams that advanced to the postseason.
After he had the biggest hit in their latest comeback win Saturday, Albies said only the 2021 World Series championship team compares with this club’s refusal to give up.
Albies hit two homers, including a walk-off, two-run shot in the ninth, as the Braves rallied to beat the Milwaukee Brewers 4-3, clinching a series victory in the second of three games between National League division leaders this weekend at Truist Park. It was Atlanta’s 25th comeback win of 2026, second only to the Arizona Diamondbacks, who have 26.
“This team is really special,” Albies said. “I’ve been on this team a long time. Really special group each and every year, but this one I would say is in the top two. A special group, a great group of guys.”
Albies had three hits and now is hitting .284 with 12 homers. He is on pace for his best season since 2023, when he hit .280 with 33 homers and received his third MLB All-Star Game selection. He hit only .240 with 16 homers last season.
