Rookie catcher Drake Baldwin singled in the 11th inning to lift the Atlanta Braves to a 5-4 walk-off win against the visiting Cincinnati Reds on Thursday that gave Atlanta its third victory of the four-game series.
Ozzie Albies, on second as the automatic runner, scored when Baldwin lined his two-out single to left off Reds reliever Taylor Rogers (1-1).
Reliever Scott Blewett (1-0) tossed scoreless 10th and 11th innings for the Braves, who have won four of their past five.
Jose Trevino went 3-for-4 with three doubles for Cincinnati, which has lost five of six.
The Reds took a 4-2 lead in the ninth. After Trevino laced his third double, Jacob Hurtubise pinch-ran for him. It turned out not to be necessary as Rece Hinds knocked a two-run shot into the left-field upper deck off closer Jose Iglesias.
Atlanta tied it in the bottom half. Albies walked and Eddie Rosario ran for Sean Murphy after he singled. Eli White drove in Albies with a sacrifice bunt to narrow it to 4-3, then Michael Harris II singled to score Rosario and force extra innings.
Atlanta took a 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning. Austin Riley knocked a double down the left field line and Marcell Ozuna followed with a single. Matt Olson then drove in Riley with a sacrifice fly.
Braves starting pitcher Spencer Schwellenbach kept the Reds to one baserunner, a hit from Hinds, through the first four innings before the Reds finally connected to tie it in the fifth. Spencer Steer and Santiago Espinal singled and Trevino doubled down the left-field line to make it 1-1. Schwellenbach went six innings and gave up five hits and one run while amassing six strikeouts and two walks.
Cincinnati starter Nick Lodolo settled down after the opening frame, retiring 10 straight entering the fifth when the Braves regained the lead. White connected on a bunt single and Michael Harris II tripled for a 2-1 advantage. Lodolo also went six innings and allowed five hits and two runs while fanning seven.
Cincinnati tied it 2-2 in the seventh. Blake Dunn pinch-ran for Tyler Stephenson, who drew a walk. Trevino doubled and Hinds walked to load the bases with one out, ending Montero’s brief outing. TJ Friedl singled off Dylan Lee to right field, driving in Dunn.

Hannah Green wins her 2nd HSBC Women's World Championship
Aug 21, 2025; Mississauga, Ontario, CAN; Hannah Green plays her tee shot at the third hole during first round play at the CPKC Women’s Open golf tournament. Mandatory Credit: Dan Hamilton-Imagn Images Australia’s Hannah Green held off Auston Kim on Sunday to win the HSBC Women’s World Championship in Singapore for the second time.
Green, the 2024 champion, balanced three birdies and three bogeys on an eventful back nine to finish with a 3-under 69 and a final score of 14-under at Sentosa Golf Club. The 2019 Women’s PGA Championship winner tapped in for bogey at the 18th for her seventh LPGA Tour title.
“When I did win Singapore two years ago, I went on to win two other tournaments that season and pretty much had my best season on tour,” said Green, 29. “So having a win so early in the season gives me a bit more flexibility with the tournaments that I can play. So I’m hoping that this puts me in good stead for the rest of the year.”
Green was at 16-under after birdies at the first, 11th and 13th holes and an eagle at the par-5 eighth hole. Her birdie at the par-3 15th helped her survive a bogey-bogey finish.
“I knew that I had enough of a lead to be able to get away with making mistakes coming down the stretch. But I think 15 was the real turning point,” she said.
First- and second-round leader Kim nearly chased down her first title, matching the low round of the day with a 67 to finish one shot behind Green in the 72-hole, no-cut tournament.
Kim carded six birdies and an eagle at No. 8, but a bogey at the par-3 15th proved costly for the 25-year-old American.
“Overall, I think it was a really solid week,” Kim said. “A great way to start the year. I hit a lot of bad shots but I also hit a lot of good ones, and it was really confidence boosting. I hit all these bad shots, and I didn’t feel like I had anything chose to my A game, but I was still able it pull off a result like this and play some really solid golf.”
Australia’s Minjee Lee (72 on Sunday), Angel Yin (71) and France’s Pauline Roussin-Bouchard (68) tied for third place at 11-under with South Korea’s Haeran Ryu (72) another shot back in solo sixth.
World No. 1 Jeeno Thitikul of Thailand finished with a 73 and tied for 31st at 2-under, one shot behind defending champion Lydia Ko (72) of New Zealand.

Mandatory Credit: Sam Navarro-Imagn Images St. Louis Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol received a two-year contract extension through the 2028 season, the team announced Sunday.
Financial terms were not disclosed by the team, which holds an option for the 2029 season.
“As I’ve gotten to know Oli, I’ve seen someone who cares about this organization and knows what has made the Cardinals special over time — and who understands that for us to get where we need to go, we must compete relentlessly to set new standards in everything that we do,” president of baseball operations Chaim Bloom said.
“He is invested in the progress of our young core and is unafraid to challenge himself and to help those around him grow. I am energized to continue working with him towards the on-field success that we expect and that our fans deserve.”
Marmol, 39, has guided the Cardinals to a 325-323 record during his four seasons as the skipper. He led St. Louis to the National League Central title in 2022 before the team fell in the wild-card series to the Philadelphia Phillies.
Last season, the Cardinals posted a 78-84 record to finish in fourth place in the NL Central.
Marmol was a coach with St. Louis from 2017-21 under previous managers Mike Shildt and Mike Matheny.
