Atlanta Braves Minor League Recap 8/21: Austin Riley homers twice, CJ Alexander continues to rake

Austin Riley went deep in both halves of Gwinnett’s doubleheader, but the Stripers were still swept by the scores of 4-2 and 5-4. Both Wes Parsons and Chad Bell struggled on the mound in their starts as each of them gave up four earned runs. A reliever to keep an eye on as the Braves continue to explore relief options is Corbin Clouse who went two innings in the second game and struck out four batters in a clean appearance.

Austin Riley hadn’t see much in the way of power production of late, so he decided to start to catch up with homers in both games in the doubleheader with the first one being an absolute tape measure shot.
