On Sunday, the Atlanta Braves are playing the final game of their series with the Texas Rangers (at home).
They are coming off a 7-6 loss on Saturday (but won Friday’s game 15-1).
During Sunday’s game, Austin Riley hit a home run in his first at-bat.
The Braves wrote (via Instagram): “Austin with the power ⚡️”
Riley has struggled this season, so that is a huge home run for fans to see (and Riley’s confidence).
The two-time MLB All-Star came into the day batting .211 with 74 hits, 10 home runs, 43 RBIs, 41 runs and six stolen bases in 97 games.
