CINCINNATI — Atlanta’s two young pitchers grew up a little bit during a ragged, extra-inning win. The Braves’ bullpen blew a two-run lead in the ninth inning, but Ender Inciarte hit a sacrifice fly in the 11th for a 5-4 victory over the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday night that evened a series between the NL’s worst teams. The Braves’ focus was more on their young starter and their even younger reliever who handled pressure situations like they were nothing new.
