Ryan Hanigan's two-run double capped a four-run seventh inning for the Cincinnati Reds, who rallied for a 5-2 victory against the Atlanta Braves on Saturday.
Braves starter Jair Jurrjens shut down the Reds' potent lineup for six innings, but they pounded out four hits off him in the seventh. Jay Bruce tied it at 2 with an RBI single and Hanigan laced a double to left-center to score Bruce and Jonny Gomes, before coming around to score on the play.
The rally made starter Bronson Arroyo (11-6) the winner as he surrendered two runs on five hits over seven innings. Francisco Cordero allowed the tying run to come to the plate in the ninth before striking out Jason Heyward for his 28th save.
Reds third baseman Scott Rolen had two hits, including his 18th home run, and scored two runs.
Jurrjens (3-4) allowed five runs on eight hits, leaving with two outs in the seventh. He struck out six and didn't issue a walk. The loss was his first in six starts since coming off the disabled list June 30.
Omar Infante had three hits playing second base and hitting in the leadoff spot in place of Martin Prado, who is expected to miss at least a week with a fractured right pinky suffered Friday.
