WATCH: Austin Riley and Matt Olson go back to back jacks in the 8th inning to give Atlanta a late lead

Austin Riley now has four homeruns, a triple, and eleven RBIs in this series against Arizona

There's always one hot player at a time. 

May was Marcell Ozuna, thanks to an absolutely wild series in Miami giving him a kickstart. 

June was Michael Harris II, thanks to a Marcell Ozuna pep talk and a big game against the New York Mets.

July appears to be Austin Riley's.

The Braves All-Star third baseman, who was batting under .200 in the previous ten games before this series, continued his hot streak with a three-run homer in the 8th inning of today's game to give Atlanta a late lead.

The Braves slugger has four home runs in the three games of the series, with eleven RBIs and a triple a few innings ago, for good measure. 

For some insurance, Matt Olson hit another homer in the next at-bat, his 2nd of the game after a two-run homer in the 7th. Olson's now tied for most RBIs in baseball with Adolis Garcia of the Texas Rangers, with 80 on the season.

Atlanta's up 7-5 in the bottom of the 8th, trying to stave off a sweep, and it's hard to believe this was a scoreless pitcher's duel just two innings ago.
