The Atlanta Braves earned another victory on Wednesday night, as they defeated the Toronto Blue Jays by a final score of 7-3. It was an all-around quality victory for Atlanta. With the win, the Braves improved to 42-20 for the season. While the ball club had a team effort, Ozzie Albies led the way offensively. 

Albies had two hits including a home run. The star infielder added three RBIs. It was a big game for him to say the least.

Albies is in the middle of a breakout season. In 2025, he hit just .240/.306/.356 across 157 games played. Some even wondered if Atlanta would consider trading him. The Braves ultimately kept him on the roster and the decision has worked out.

Albies is currently hitting.283/.337/.454 so far in 62 games played in 2026. He also has 10 home runs after recording just 16 long balls all of last season.

Albies has been one of the better second baseman in baseball. The Braves likely would not be where they are right now without his contributions.

With that being said, Albies had plenty of help on Wednesday.

The Braves had a team effort as mentioned on Wednesday. Grant Holmes turned in six innings of two-run baseball in his strong start. Holmes continues to make a significant impact for the team. The bullpen allowed only one more run as Atlanta held on for the victory.

From an offensive standpoint, the Braves had seven runs on nine hits. Albies led the way, but Mauricio Dubon also hit a home run and had three RBIs. 

The offense continues to make an impact. Last season, a number of players underperformed. This year, many Braves are stepping up or bouncing back. It seems like everyone is on the same page, and the ball club is finding success without question.

Meanwhile, the pitching has continued to get the job done. It has upset expectations in all reality.

Atlanta is in first place in the National League East standings. The Braves hold a 9.5 game lead over the second place Philadelphia Phillies at the moment.

As for their current series, the ball club is 2-0 against the Blue Jays. The final contest of the three-game series is scheduled for 7:15 PM EST in Atlanta as the Braves look to clinch a series sweep against the Blue Jays at home.
