WATCH: Austin Riley continues to stay hot, goes opposite field for his fifth home run in the last four games

It's safe to say that Austin Riley's moved past the early season power outage

Atlanta Braves slugger Austin Riley has decided to make July his month, just like Marcell Ozuna had May and Michael Harris II had June. 

Stepping into the box against Milwaukee starter Freddy Peralta with a runner on 1st, Riley ambushed an 0-2 fastball and sent it out at 103.3 mph to right field for a home run.

The homerun is the 57th and 58th RBIs of the season for Riley, who now has 21 homeruns on the season. He entered this week at only 16, but after hitting four homeruns in three games against Arizona and now this bomb, he's now the 5th Braves position player to surpass the 20 homerun plateau this season, a figure that leads baseball.  

Michael Soroka is back out for the bottom of the 3rd inning, now staked to a 5-2 lead.
