Albies' 11th-inning blast leads Braves past Reds

Second baseman Ozzie Albies led off the 11th inning with a long solo home run to give the Atlanta Braves a 5-4 win over the visiting Cincinnati Reds on Monday at SunTrust Park.

Albies connected for his 17th homer on the first pitch he saw against Cincinnati reliever Dylan Floro (2-2). It was the third extra-base hit of the game for Albies and his first walk-off homer.

The defeat snapped a season-long seven-game win streak for the Reds.

The winning pitcher was Luke Jackson (1-0), who worked a scoreless 11th.
