ATLANTA -- Freddie Freeman hit the first cycle of the 2016 season on Wednesday night, and Chase d'Arnaud sealed the win with a walk-off single in the bottom of the 13th inning to help the Braves outlast the Reds, 9-8, at Turner Field.
The Braves jumped on Reds starter Anthony DeSclafani early, taking a 1-0 lead in the first before adding three unearned runs in the third. The right-hander labored through his second start of the season, throwing 76 pitches in just 2 2/3 innings.
Bud Norris, meanwhile, didn't surrender a hit until Brandon Phillips registered a single during the Reds' three-run fourth.
