William Contreras hit two of the Atlanta Braves’ four home runs in a 6-3 victory over the Texas Rangers on Friday in Arlington, Texas.
It was Contreras’ first career multi-homer performance.
In his first start since being recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett on Thursday, Contreras hit a homer with the bases empty in the fourth inning and added another solo shot that traveled 435 feet in the sixth inning.
Austin Riley hit a two-run homer, his sixth, in the first inning. Travis Demeritte connected on his second homer of the season, an inside-the-parker, in the third. Demeritte hit a line drive that skipped past center fielder Adolis Garcia and rolled to the track.
