Austin Riley came through in the clutch on the basebaths Monday night, but he ultimately didn't get any style points for his efforts.
The Atlanta Braves trailed the St. Louis Cardinals 3-2 with one out in the bottom of the eighth when Riley chopped a grounder to short. While he was initially ruled out, the call was overturned after a review showed the 28-year-old third baseman had beat the throw.
Riley had advanced to second by the time Matt Olson stepped up to the plate. Olson notched a single of his own and Riley immediately set his sights on scoring.
