CINCINNATI - Reds rookie Raisel Iglesias pitched eight innings of two-hit baseball in his second career start and Todd Frazier connected for his 12th home run of the season, leading Cincinnati to a 5-1 win over the AtlantaBraves on Wednesday.
Marlon Byrd added a solo homer, his seventh of the season and fifth in his last 10 games. The Reds won the rubber match of the three-game series and seven-game season series between the teams.
The Braves have lost five of their last six.
Iglesias (1-0), a Cuba native, was recalled from Triple-A Louisville before the game. He took a no-hitter into the sixth inning. Pinch-hitter Eric Young Jr. broke it up with a leadoff bloop single to shallow center field. Another pinch-hitter, Pedro Ciriaco, became the first batter to get past second base when he led off the eighth with a triple and scored on Nick Markasis' groundout.
The 25-year-old Iglesias, who left with no decision in his debut on April 12 against St. Louis, allowed three walks and struck out five.
The Braves had two runners on base in one inning just once. Iglesias threw 103 pitches, 74 for strikes. He acknowledged the applause of the crowd of 17,747 by waving his cap as he walked into the dugout after the eighth inning.
Joey Votto followed Zack Cozart's first-inning double with a run-scoring line drive up the middle that glanced off of Atlanta starter pitcher Eric Stults' glove on its way to center field.
That run was the first allowed by Stults (1-4) in the first inning in six starts this season.
Byrd led off the second with a 343-foot homer into the first row of the left field seats. Frazier made it 4-0 in third with his second homer in as many nights, a 432-foot shot to center field that tied Washington's Bryce Harper for the National League lead. Billy Hamilton tripled and scored on Cozart's sacrifice fly in the fifth.
Stults (1-4) allowed six hits and five runs with one walk and three strikeouts over five innings. He's lost his last three starts.
