Austin Riley On A Home Run Binge
1 year agoAtlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley homered in his third straight game and went 2-for-4 with a triple, three RBI and two runs scored in Thursday's 7-5 win over the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks. The 26-year-old slugger has been on fire in the last three ballgames, going 6-for-13 with four home runs, a double, a triple, 11 RBI and six runs scored. Fantasy managers should be starting Riley daily to begin with, but he's been especially hot of late. In the month of July, he's hitting .254 (15-for-59) with five long balls, two doubles, a triple, 13 RBI and 13 runs scored in 14 games. The two-time All-Star now has 20 home runs on the season and has driven in 56 runs in 95 games for the first-place Braves.
