Ozzie Albies banged out four more hits including two homers to help lead the Atlanta Braves to an 11-7 win and a series victory over the Minnesota Twins. Freddie Freeman and Ronald Acuña Jr. both hit their 29th home run of the season while Max Fried turned in a great performance on the mound.

It raised eyebrows on Wednesday when Austin Riley wasn’t in the lineup against Twins left-handler Martin Perez. We found out why following the game when Brian Snitker informed reporters that Riley and suffered a knee injury while working out prior to Tuesday’s game.
