A comfortable lead had suddenly been cut in half after Miami found some holes and strung together a rally off Dylan Lee in the top of the eighth, cutting a 5-1 lead down to 5-3 and raising the collective heart rates at Truist Park. But just as quickly as the rally stirred up, it died back down as the Miami threat ended abruptly with an around-the-horn double play. Then Eddie Rosario faced yet another Marlins southpaw reliever (Tanner Scott) to lead off the bottom of the eighth.

Eddie Money (a nickname I wholeheartedly support) went oppo taco, driving a first-pitch slider over the fence in the left-field corner, pushing the Braves' lead back up to 6-3. And as you saw in the video above, Ozzie Albies kept the train rollin'. He turned around a heater this time, but otherwise this homer looked eerily similar to the one he hit back in the sixth inning, and it gave him the team lead in taters on the season with seven. The Braves go to the ninth now ahead 7-3.

The two clubs are back at it again tomorrow night at 7:20 Eastern, televised by Bally Sports South. The radio call, with Ben Ingram, is available locally on 680 AM/93.7 FM The Fan or outside the Atlanta market on the Atlanta Braves Radio Network or MLB.com.
