After cranking three home runs in Friday’s matchup, the Atlanta Braves took down the Washington Nationals, 8-4. Austin Riley, Orlando Arcia, and Adam Duvall each homered to hold off the last-place Nats.
Austin Riley’s first-inning home run was his 26th of the season, the most by any Braves player before the All-Star break since Andruw Jones hit 27 in 2005.
“I’m feeling good,” Riley said after collecting his 60th RBI. “When I’m sticking to my plan I feel like I’m not missing my pitches and as long as I’m staying inside myself and not trying to do too much, I give myself a chance.
