From beat writers David O'Brien and Gabe Burns/Atlanta Journal-Constitution and Mark Bowman/MLB.com on Twitter (and others when notable)
Albies on hitting his 19th and 20th homers with his mom at the game: “It feels amazing with her here because she told me before I left Curacao, she wanted 20 (homers) from me this year. It happened right in front of her, she saw it live. So I’m happy it happened today (Wed.).”/DOB
Freeman on facing Harper in the Home Run Derby: "I might have sent a text to him earlier to start the trash talking. It should be fun. I’m hoping the fans are too excited for him and he gets nervous and hits zero. But we’ll see what happens."/MB
