WATCH: Austin Riley hammered a go-ahead homer in the eighth inning

Austin Riley homers to give Atlanta a late lead over the Phillies.

The Braves were down 4-0 and came all the way back to beat the Philadelphia Phillies. 

The late heroics came from Austin Riley, who sent a two-run go-ahead homer over the right field wall. 

This homer came on a 3-2 slider, and Riley hit it 376 feet with a 100.2 exit velo.

The Braves were able to hold on in the ninth inning and win this ball game. 

It looked gloomy for the Braves there for a while, but you have to remember this offense is never out of a ball game until the final out of a game is recorded. 

Let's take a look at Riley's homer that ended up being the difference in the Brave's 5-4 win over the Philadelphia Phillies.
