By Seth Carlson
Austin Riley has been stealing the show in the ATL lately, and rightfully so the way his hot bat continues to keep the Braves lineup on fire. However, first baseman Freddie Freeman and third baseman Josh Donaldson are not to be forgotten among all the hype surrounding the team's young talent and they made sure of that Tuesday night.

First, Freeman made Braves history with his 300th career double. Pairing that with his 200 career homers, he's just the sixth player in Braves history to achieve that mark.

Donaldson would follow with his eighth blast of the season, leaving the yard for a three-run homer. That made it a four-run lead for the Braves, who are well on their way to a victory.
