BRAVES 9, REDS 8, 13 INNINGS

ATLANTA (AP) — Freddie Freeman hit for the cycle and Chase d'Arnaud had a bases-loaded single in the 13th inning to cap a three-run rally.

Adonis Garcia and Nick Markakis opened the inning with singles, Jace Peterson hit a run-scoring double and Tyler Flowers added a tying single.
