WATCH: Austin Riley crushes his second home run of the game

The home run gave the Braves a 5-4 lead in the bottom of the 5th

The ball is flying in Atlanta tonight.

Austin Riley destroyed another baseball for his second home run of the game. This one landed in the same spot in the left-field bleachers as his first home run. His second home gave the Braves a 5-4 lead in the bottom of the fifth inning.

The two home runs so far tonight give Riley numbers eight and nine on the season. The first home run traveled 459 feet, and the second one 458 feet.

Austin Riley has hit incredibly well in his career against Aaron Nola.

The Braves now have three home runs on the evening—two courtesy of Riley and one from Marcell Ozuna.
