Albies went 2-for-5 with a double, a home run and three RBI in Thursday's win over the Reds.
The homer was his eighth and the double was his 10th already this season -- throw in a triple, and Albies now holds the Braves franchise record for extra-base hits before the end of April, breaking the mark of 18 XBH previously shared by some guys named Dale Murphy, Chipper Jones and Justin Upton. The 21-year-old second baseman will have a three-game set in Philadelphia to try and catch Jermaine Dye's 23 extra-base hits to match or break the major-league record, Given Albies' current form, don't count him out.
