The switch-hitting Braves lead-off hitter bailed out anything but Fresh Prince closer Will Smith.
Albies' walk-off three-run homer gave the Braves an 8-6 win in 11 innings and moved Atlanta into a tie for first. It's the first time since April 29 that the Braves have had a share of the division lead.
It was a win-win-win on almost every count for the home team, the short straws being a) Smith, who is becoming as reliable as a penny stock and b) any aggressive parlay bettors who may be riding a heater and took Braves money line, Albies to homer and Touch Toussiant to strike out 6 or more Reds.
