Braves Defeat Reds 2-1 in 10 Innings

The Atlanta Braves rallied to defeat the Cincinnati Reds 2-1 in 10 innings, securing their third straight victory while handing the Reds their fourth consecutive loss. The game was dominated by strong pitching performances from Atlanta's Chris Sale, who pitched 6 2/3 scoreless innings with 10 strikeouts, and Cincinnati's Andrew Abbott, who struck out eight over five scoreless innings. The Reds broke the scoreless tie in the eighth with a run-scoring single by Santiago Espinal, but the Braves responded in the ninth with a tying double from Michael Harris II. In the 10th, Marcell Ozuna delivered a walk-off single to drive in the winning run. Key lineup notes included all three of Cincinnati's active catchers starting and Reds third baseman Noelvi Marte being scratched just before the game due to injury. The two teams will continue their series with Hunter Greene set to pitch for the Reds and Grant Holmes for the Braves.
