Braves fans have been waiting for third baseman Austin Riley to prove he’s ready for the majors.

He might be doing that this season in Triple-A.

Riley hit two home runs and had five RBIs as the Gwinnett Stripers beat the Durham Bulls 10-0 on Saturday in Durham.

Riley went 3-for-3 and raised his average to .309. His homers upped his season total to 10.

Pedro Florimon and Travis Demeritte also homered for Gwinnett (17-12).

Braves left-hander Jesse Biddle tossed a scoreless inning with a strikeout in his first rehab outing with Gwinnett and got the win.

Outfielder Adam Duvall went 0-for-2 and his 12-game hitting streak was snapped. Duvall is hitting .314.
