What happened: The Braves posted a "WE LOVE OZZIE!" message celebrating second baseman Ozzie Albies as Atlanta closed out a 4-3 win over the Milwaukee Brewers. The result tightened the Braves' grip in a closely matched series with Milwaukee.
Why it matters: Albies remains a central figure for an Atlanta club sitting at 47-27, and the fan-facing push doubles as fuel for his ongoing All-Star Game vote campaign. Wins like this one, decided by a single run, are the kind that separate contenders in a crowded standings race.
By the numbers: Atlanta enters at 47-27, averaging 5.0 runs and allowing 3.6, while Milwaukee sits 45-28 at 5.3 scored and 3.7 allowed. The clubs have traded one-run results lately: the Braves took the previous night 3-2 on June 19 before edging the Brewers 4-3.
What to watch: Watch whether Albies' All-Star vote total climbs as the campaign continues, and how the Braves and Brewers settle the rest of their tightly contested series.
