Austin Riley hits 17th home run Friday
by Mike Maher | Braves Correspondent | Sat, Aug 3rd 11:59am EDT
Braves outfielder Austin Riley went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Friday's loss to the Reds. The homer was his 17th of the season.
Fantasy Impact:
Riley got off to a hot start with Atlanta but hit just .156 in July after batting .226 in June, which has led to him sitting regularly for the Braves. He has excellent raw power but needs to adjust to a league that has obviously figured out the holes in his swing that has led to a strikeout rate of more than 35%.
