Braves rally for 6-4 win over Reds in 10
CINCINNATI (AP) — Manager Bobby Cox was so wrapped up in another wild, last-minute win that he didn't realize his Atlanta Braves were going in the right direction again in the NL East standings.
After a week losing most of their lead, they were building it back up.
Jason Heyward knocked in two runs with his third double of the game Friday night, a two-out hit in the 10th inning that rallied Atlanta to a 6-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds and restored a little bit of that division cushion.
Atlanta moved 3½ games ahead of second-place Philadelphia, which lost 8-1 to Washington in Roy Oswalt's debut with the Phillies — a score that showed up on the outfield board but got overlooked with so much going on.
"So the Phillies got beat?" Cox said. "It's fun to watch the scoreboard, but you've got to take care of your own game."
Their rookie provided the final thrill.
