Atlanta third baseman Austin Riley will take a 15-game hitting streak into the finale of a three-game series against the visiting Los Angeles Angels on Sunday afternoon.

Riley went 3-for-4 and drove in two runs on Saturday, giving him a team-leading 63 RBIs. During his streak, Riley is batting .435 (27-for-62) with eight homers, 15 RBIs, 14 runs scored and five doubles. He is 5-for-8 in the first two games of the series with the Angels.

"He has become a really, really good hitter," Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said. "It's pretty cool for all of us that have seen him from the get-go to where he is right now and the development, and the growth, and maturity, confidence.
