ATLANTA (AP) — Austin Riley drove in three runs with three hits, including a two-run homer, Marcell Ozuna added a three-run shot and the Atlanta Braves' long-suffering offense offered signs of recovery in a 7-3 victory over the Tampa Bay Rays on Friday night.
Chris Sale (9-2) improved to 7-0 at home. The left-hander allowed two runs on five hits and two walks in seven innings.
Riley had a run-scoring double in Atlanta's five-run first inning and added a two-run homer, only his fourth, in the second.
