Austin Riley Powers Up, Braves Fall Short in Slugfest
by Chase Davis | Braves Correspondent | Fri, Aug 9th 9:02am EDT
Austin Riley went 2-for-5 with a home run and three RBI in the Braves' 16-7 loss to the Brewers.
Fantasy Impact:
Despite the team's rough outing, Riley's performance was a bright spot, contributing significantly with his 17th homer of the season. This game underscores Riley's consistent power-hitting ability, which remains crucial for fantasy managers. However, his high strikeout rate and relatively low walk rate continue to be areas of concern. Moving forward, Riley's ability to drive in runs and hit for power should keep him relevant in all fantasy formats, though his batting average and on-base percentage may not contribute as positively.
