Braves' bats can't keep up with Reds in loss

ATLANTA -- A wacky, eventful game played between two last-place teams was decided when Arodys Vizcaino issued a two-out bases-loaded walk in the ninth inning to give the Reds a lead they wouldn't relinquish in Monday night's 9-8 win over the Braves at Turner Field.

After allowing six runs through the first six innings, the Braves received scoreless innings from Casey Kelly and Jim Johnson. But after Adonis Garcia provided a game-tying homer in the eighth, Vizcaino surrendered a leadoff double to Joey Votto in the ninth and then issued a one-out intentional walk to Jay Bruce.
