It was quite the Independence Day for Dansby Swanson as he lifted the Atlanta Braves to a 12-6 win over the Philadelphia Phillies with a pair of home runs and 5 RBI.
The Atlanta Braves shortstop is in the midst of the greatest season of his career, and as the TV announcers keep reminding us, he’s having one of the best offensive seasons for a shortstop in franchise history.
Through 88 games this season he’s hitting .274 with a .334 OBP, 58 runs scored, 17 home runs, 57 RBI, and 7 stolen bases.
