Infielder Ozzie Albies played in his first major league game on Tuesday night in the Atlanta Braves 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Albies went 0-for-2 with one walk in his debut and scored one run off a two-run homer by Johan Camargo in the eighth inning.

In his first at bat with Atlanta, Albies grounded out in the second inning.

The 20-year-old Albies had a .285 average with nine home runs in 97 games for Gwinnett.
