September 9 - The Cincinnati Reds did the Atlanta Braves a favor on Sunday. Now the Reds will try to turn the tables on the Braves when they meet in a makeup game in Atlanta on Monday.
The Reds (69-75) beat the Mets 3-1 on Sunday with a two-run ninth-inning rally that ended New York's nine-game winning streak. The Braves (78-65) beat the Toronto Blue Jays 4-3 in 11 innings and moved into a tie with the Mets for the final National League wild-card playoff spot.
"That was probably one of the top two or three most draining games I've ever been a part of," Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said after the win Sunday.
