ATLANTA (AP) \u2014 Ozzie Albies hit two homers, including a walk-off, two-run blast in the ninth inning to give the Atlanta Braves a 4-3 come-from-behind win over the Milwaukee Brewers on Saturday.<\/p>\n
After Matt Olson singled off Aaron Ashby (10-1) with one out, Albies delivered the decisive shot over the right field wall for his 12th of the season.<\/p>\n
Ashby was denied his first save of the season as he failed to protect a 3-2 lead and instead was handed his first loss following a MLB-leading 10 wins.<\/p>\n
Dylan Lee (3-0) pitched a scoreless ninth as Atlanta\u2019s fourth pitcher.<\/p>\n
Ashby\u2019s blown save wasted a strong start from left-hander Kyle Harrison, who allowed only four hits and two runs in 6 1\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
Harrison opened with four hitless innings before giving up a homer to Albies to lead off the fifth. The Brewers answered with two unearned runs in the sixth following a fielding error at second base by Albies on Brice Turang\u2019s grounder. Andrew Vaughn had a run-scoring single in the inning to give Milwaukee a 2-1 lead.<\/p>\n
Braves left-hander Chris Sale gave up five hits and two unearned runs in 5 2\/3 innings.<\/p>\n
The Braves won 3-2 over Jacob Misiorowski in Friday night\u2019s series opener.<\/p>\n
Braves catcher Joey Bart was 0 for 3 in his first start since he was acquired from the Pittsburgh Pirates for right-hander Hunter Stratton on Thursday night. Bart is the Braves\u2019 franchise-record eighth catcher to appear in a game this season. The team used seven in 2021 and 1929, when the franchise was based in Boston.<\/p>\n
Brewers manager Pat Murphy said before the game he plans surgeries on his back on Thursday, when the team is off, and on his hip during the All-Star break.<\/p>\n
