Austin Riley went 2-for-3 with a home run and two RBI during Atlanta's win over Washington on Saturday.
Fantasy Impact:
Riley took Washington starter Patrick Corbin deep in the bottom of the first inning to get Atlanta on the board. He's been swinging an especially hot bat recently going 10-for-19 (.526) with two home runs and five RBI over his last five games and 19-for-39 (.487) with four home runs and 10 RBI over his last 10 games. His 93.6 mph average exit velocity (97th percentile) and 55.7 percent hard-hit rate (98th percentile) are easily the best of his career and indicate that he should top last year's numbers. On the season he is hitting .278/.346/.550 with 22 home runs and 53 RBI over 327 at-bats.
