CINCINNATI (AP) — Matt Olson hit a go-ahead three-run homer in the sixth and the Atlanta Braves held on for another wild 7-6 victory over the Cincinnati Reds. The Braves, who snapped the Reds’ longest winning streak in 66 years with a 7-6 win on Saturday, have won 17 of their last 20. The Reds had runners on first and third in the ninth when Raisel Iglesias got Kevin Newman to roll into a game-ending double play for his 11th save. Charlie Morton (7-6) earned the victory. Matt McLain went 4 for 5 with three doubles, a homer and five RBIs for Cincinnati.
