Ozzie Albies slugs another leadoff homer, ties major-league HR lead

Ozzie Albies’ power spurt still hasn’t ceased.

The “strong, petite man,” as coined by Freddie Freeman, homered to open the game against the Cubs on Monday.

It was Albies’ fourth career leadoff homer, his third this season and second against the Cubs.

Albies has 13 homers on the season, tying him with Bryce Harper for the most in the majors.
