Braves, D-backs ready for rematch after offensive showcase

The Atlanta Braves and the visiting Arizona Diamondbacks will have a hard act to follow when they continue their three-game series on Wednesday

The teams combined for 29 runs and 27 hits in a wild series opener on Tuesday, when Arizona prevailed 16-13. Christian Walker homered twice and drove in five runs for the Diamondbacks, who snapped a four-game losing streak

Atlanta lost its third straight game despite a stellar performance by Austin Riley, who homered twice and had a career-high seven RBIs. He was mired in a 7-for-42 (.167) slump before the Tuesday outburst.
