PHOENIX — Marcell Ozuna stayed at home plate way too long admiring his 415-foot single. The Atlanta Braves slugger spent most of the rest of the game watching from the bench. Ozuna was removed from the Braves' 8-5 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks in the sixth inning Sunday after he failed to hustle on his long hit in the fourth inning. Ozuna's towering shot looked as though it was either going over the wall or into the glove of Arizona center fielder Jake McCarthy. The ball instead hit an overhang just below the line for a home run. Braves manager Brian Snitker replaced Ozuna with Sean Murphy.
