The defending World Series champions recovered from their Opening Night flop, but only before a major scare from the Cincinnati Reds.
Charlie Morton retired the first 12 batters he faced and Travis d'Arnaud singled twice and drove in three runs as the Atlanta Braves hung on to edge the visiting Cincinnati Reds 7-6 Friday night.
The Braves raced out to a 7-0 lead after three innings.
Morton (1-0) was perfect over the first four innings and allowed two hits and two runs over 5 1/3 innings, walking one and striking out five.
