Austin Riley went 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBI during Atlanta's win over Cincinnati on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact:
Riley knocked a 99.8 mph, 362 ft. home run in the top of the second inning off of Cincinnati starter Tyle Mahle to open the scoring for the Braves. He has home runs in consecutive games and has hit a spicy 7-for-12 (.583) over his last three games. He is hitting a career-high average exit velocity of 93.5 (97th percentile) and hard hit percent of 53.8 (97th percentile) so far this season, which has translated to 20 home runs across 300 plate appearances. He should be locked and loaded on all fantasy teams.
