VIDEO: Austin Riley Continues Hot Streak With Homer Against Nationals
By Scott Rogust
Austin Riley was called up by the Atlanta Braves just two weeks ago, and he's been on fire ever since. Entering Tuesday night against the Washington Nationals, Riley owned a .333 batting average with five home runs and 14 RBI. Down 5-2 in the bottom of the eighth inning, the rookie hit a two-run bomb to left field to pull the Braves within one run.
Austin Riley is further proof that the Atlanta Braves farm system is, indeed, loaded.
