WATCH: Now it's Austin Riley's turn to flash some leather, torment the Twins

He's homered already, and now he's committing highway robbery on the third-base line

It's been a wildly entertaining game tonight, with homers, a little Bad News Bears action in the field, and some really sizzling defense all mixed into the batter. Austin Riley, who did it with the stick in the first inning, did it with the glove in the eighth.

We'll say it again: VOTE. AUSTIN.https://t.co/WpMLapxOjD pic.twitter.com/KoxvUhVbyn

The Twins have consistently threatened tonight and mostly come away with nothing to show for it. DH Byron Buxton looked like he might have started another rally leading off the eighth, but Riley ranged into foul territory to snag a sharp grounder and then made the loooooong throw across the diamond to retire the speedy, if injured Buxton. Whatever you want to say about tonight's game, it hasn't been boring.

Tonight's game is almost over, and the two teams are back at it again tomorrow afternoon to wrap up the series. First pitch is 12:20 ET. The game broadcast, with Voice of the Braves Brandon Gaudin, is available inside Braves Country on Bally Sports South and is available on MLB.TV outside of the broadcast area. The radio call, with Ben Ingram, is available locally on 680 AM/93.7 FM The Fan or outside the Atlanta market on the Atlanta Braves Radio Network or MLB.com.
