VIDEO: Austin Riley Makes Braves' History With Clutch Home Run to Tie Game in Bottom of the 9th
By Thomas Carannante
The Atlanta Braves couldn't be happier with the production from rookie Austin Riley. The spark he's provided for this lineup has been almost unprecedented and I'm sure the Pittsburgh Pirates are sick of it. He hit a three-run blast to take the lead over the Buccos last week and on Wednesday night he tied things up in the bottom of the ninth with a clutch solo home run.

The rookie also set a Braves record by becoming the fastest to 10 home runs in franchise history. It took him just 26 games.
We have a star in the making, MLB fans.
