Heisey later laced a pitch into the left-center field gap for an insurance tally, and the Reds went on to snap the Braves' three-game winning streak.

Lyle Ondrusek (3-0) earned the win in relief of Homer Bailey, who had limited Atlanta to one run on six hit over 6 2/3 innings.

Sean Marshall picked up his sixth save with two strikeouts in the ninth.

Braves starter Randall Delgado pitched well in a no-decision, surrendering one run on four hits over 6 2/3 frames.
