Austin Riley delivered again to help the Atlanta Braves extend their winning streak to three straight with a 12-5 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Atlanta had plenty of opportunities throughout the game but failed to deliver as they started the game 1-for-15 with runners in scoring position. That all changed in the seventh inning when Austin Riley stepped to the plate with two men aboard and lined a slider from Kyle Crick right down the line in right and out for a three-run home run to put the Braves in front 6-5.
Atlanta poured it on in the eighth adding three big insurance runs to the scoreboard.
