ATLANTA — Drake Baldwin hit an RBI single in the bottom of the 11th inning to drive in automatic runner Ozzie Albies and give the Atlanta Braves their fourth win in their past five games, 5-4 over the Cincinnati Reds on Thursday night at Truist Park.

Scott Blewett (1-0) pitched two scoreless innings to pick up the win.

The Braves forced extra innings with a two-run rally in the ninth inning. Eli White bunted Albies home for the first run, and Michael Harris II drove in pinch-runner Eddie Rosario with a single to left field. Harris was 3-for-5 with two RBIs in the game.

Taylor Rogers (1-1) took the loss as Cincinnati dropped three of four games in Atlanta.

Reds rookie Rece Hinds hit a tiebreaking two-run homer off Raisel Iglesias in the ninth inning, making it 4-2. Hinds was 2-for-3 with two RBIs and a walk in his second game of the season with Cincinnati.
