Atlanta Braves Minor League Recap: Austin Riley homers again because of course he did

Gwinnett rode a five home run outburst which produced all eight of their runs in an 8-4 win over Pawtucket. Austin Riley got the offense rolling in the bottom of the first inning, clubbing his 13th home run of the season to tie the game up at one apiece. Riley leads the International League in home runs, and already has hit eight of them in ten games in the month of May. Another home run from Ryan LaMarre in the bottom of the second inning gave them a short-lived lead of 2-1, before a big third inning gave Gwinnett a lead they would not relinquish.
