Austin Riley's two home runs and five RBIs led the Atlanta Braves to an 8-4 victory over the Toronto Blue Jays, marking their second road win of the season. Braves' right-hander Grant Holmes pitched 7 2/3 innings, allowing three runs and two hits, while Myles Straw's sixth-inning homer was the first hit he conceded.
The Braves ended a six-game losing streak in road games against Toronto, despite missing designated hitter Marcell Ozuna due to a hip injury. Blue Jays' pitcher Easton Lucas struggled, giving up eight runs in five innings, with Sean Murphy and Riley contributing to the Braves' offensive dominance. Riley's two home runs marked his seventh career multihomer game, while the Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went hitless in four at-bats.
The Braves, now 2-9 on the road, look to continue their success as they face the Blue Jays in the next game, with Spencer Schwellenbach scheduled to pitch against Kevin Gausman.
