Overview

  • Combined offense produced 30 hits and a rare back-to-back eight-run eighth inning, forcing extra innings in the opener.
  • Marcell Ozuna’s sacrifice fly in the 10th inning drove in Matt Olson for the winning run, marking only the third MLB instance of both teams scoring eight runs in the same frame.
  • Pierce Johnson (1⅓ scoreless relief innings) earned the win and Raisel Iglesias recorded his 13th save of the season.
  • Trade-deadline additions impacted both sides, with Carlos Carrasco allowing three runs in six innings for Atlanta and Ke’Bryan Hayes hitting a three-run homer but committing a key error for Cincinnati.
  • The series continues Friday in Cincinnati as the Reds send Brady Singer (8-8, 4.60 ERA) to the mound against Braves starter Bryce Elder (4-7, 6.29 ERA).
