Austin Riley Tallies Two Hits On Sunday
4 years agoAtlanta Braves outfielder/third baseman Austin Riley had his first multi-hit game of the year on Sunday against the Chicago Cubs. Riley went 2-for-3 with two runs. He was also hit by a pitch twice in the game. Riley has been a regular in the Braves' starting lineup this year. Unfortunately, he's still searching for his power swing. Through 16 games, he's yet to record a single extra-base hit. His slugging percentage is just .213, almost half of where it was last year (.415). Riley hit 26 home runs over 131 MLB games prior to this year. He should start to deliver on that power potential at some point soon.
