For the first time since 1990, the Cincinnati Reds opened the season on the road, and they as they did 32 years ago, they came out on top, this time defeating the defending World Series champion Atlanta Braves 6-3.
Newcomer Brandon Drury connected for a three-run homer in support of starter Tyler Mahle (1-0), who limited the Braves to three hits and one unearned run over five innings. Mahle struck out seven and walked two in winning his first career Opening Day assignment.
Tony Santillan pitched a perfect ninth inning to record his first career save.
