On a night where Eugenio Suarez hit four homers, Murphy did his own damage with a solo blast off Merrill Kelly in the second inning. The homer and two free passes improves Murphy’s slash to .220/.350/.600 with seven homers; an impressive number even before you remember he missed the start of the season.

Murphy got the Braves on the board in the fourth inning with a 374-foot (99.5 mph EV) solo shot off of Andre Pallante in the fourth inning. That would wind up being the veteran backstop’s only hit in four at-bats on the evening. Murphy has provided solid power production since returning from the injured list, slashing .209/.320/.628 with six homers and 12 RBI through his first 12 games.

Murphy has been on an absolute tear, going deep four times in just six contests since returning from a season-opening stint on the injured list. The 30-year-old backstop hasn’t really made any changes besides wearing glasses for the first time in his career. It seems to be paying off since he’s posted a sky-high 1.203 OPS since making the switch.
