CINCINNATI — The day after losing a 10-inning shutout, the Atlanta Braves won a 10-inning shootout.
Even if the firepower was significantly stronger in one of those innings.
Marcell Ozuna drove in Matt Olson with a sacrifice fly in the 10th inning Thursday night at Great American Ball Park, and the Braves held on for a 12-11 win over the Cincinnati Reds in a game that featured a total of 12 pitchers and 30 combined hits.
Ozzie Albies had four hits, drove in two runs and scored twice to pace the Braves, who broke a 3-3 tie with eight runs in the top of the eighth inning, only to give up eight runs in the bottom half.
Atlanta’s Pierce Johnson (2-3) pitched 1 1/3 innings in relief for the win, and Raisel Iglesias got his 13th save of the season by working the bottom of the 10th.
