Charlie Culberson Slugs 3 Run Home Run | Atlanta Braves Highlights | August 8, 2018!

Charlie Culberson slugs a three-run home run over the left-field wall, giving the Braves a 3-1 lead in the top of the 2nd inning against the Washington Nationals on August 8, 2018!

According to Mark Bowman’s article:

Culberson got the Braves rolling with the three-run homer in the second inning against Milone. Culberson’s shot was his third home run within a span of six at-bats and the fifth in 31 at-bats against the Nationals this season.

The veteran utility man entered Tuesday with five homers through his first 196 at-bats of the season. The eight homers he has tallied in 205 at-bats this season are two more than he had over 411 career at-bats entering the season.

“The guy is good,” Flowers said. “I guess he’s just never played a lot before. He’s another guy where the count, the score or the situation doesn’t seem to affect him. Those guys are hard to come by. He’s done a great job, and hopefully he’s going to play a little more with the way he’s been swinging it.”
