Braves blow lead in 9th, rally for 5-4 win over Reds in 11th (The Associated Press)

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Atlanta's bullpen blew a two-run lead in the ninth inning, but Ender Inciarte hit a sacrifice fly in the 11th that sent the Braves to a 5-4 win over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night and evened a series between the NL's worst teams.

Nick Markakis started the winning rally with a single off Tony Cingrani (2-3) and took third on Jeff Francoeur's single off Blake Wood. Inciarte's fly to deep center broke the tie.

Mauricio Cabrera (1-0) got the last five outs for his first career win, evening the teams' season series at three games apiece.
