UPDATE: Rookie Drake Baldwin’s first walk-off lifts Braves over Reds in 11th

MLB: Cincinnati Reds at Atlanta Braves

Rookie catcher Drake Baldwin singled in the 11th inning to lift the Atlanta Braves to a 5-4 walk-off win against the visiting Cincinnati Reds on Thursday that gave Atlanta its third victory of the four-game series.

Ozzie Albies, on second as the automatic runner, scored when Baldwin lined his two-out single to left off Reds reliever Taylor Rogers (1-1).

Reliever Scott Blewett (1-0) tossed scoreless 10th and 11th innings for the Braves, who have won four of their past five.

Jose Trevino went 3-for-4 with three doubles for Cincinnati, which has lost five of six.

The Reds took a 4-2 lead in the ninth. After Trevino laced his third double, Jacob Hurtubise pinch-ran for him. It turned out not to be necessary as Rece Hinds knocked a two-run shot into the left-field upper deck off closer Jose Iglesias.

Atlanta tied it in the bottom half. Albies walked and Eddie Rosario ran for Sean Murphy after he singled. Eli White drove in Albies with a sacrifice bunt to narrow it to 4-3, then Michael Harris II singled to score Rosario and force extra innings.

Atlanta took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. Austin Riley knocked a double down the left field line and Marcell Ozuna followed with a single. Matt Olson then drove in Riley with a sacrifice fly.

Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach kept the Reds to one baserunner, a hit from Hinds, through the first four innings before the Reds finally connected to tie it in the fifth. Spencer Steer and Santiago Espinal singled and Trevino doubled down the left-field line to make it 1-1. Schwellenbach went six innings and gave up five hits and one run while amassing six strikeouts and two walks.

Cincinnati starter Nick Lodolo settled down after the opening frame, retiring 10 straight entering the fifth when the Braves regained the lead. White connected on a bunt single and Michael Harris II tripled for a 2-1 advantage. Lodolo also went six innings and allowed five hits and two runs while fanning seven.

Cincinnati tied it 2-2 in the seventh. Blake Dunn pinch-ran for Tyler Stephenson, who drew a walk. Trevino doubled and Hinds walked to load the bases with one out, ending Montero’s brief outing. TJ Friedl singled off Dylan Lee to right field, driving in Dunn.
