Braves 7, Blue Jays 6 (10): Brian McCann's second home run of the game leading off the 10th inning guided Atlanta past host Toronto.
McCann launched a pitch from reliever Thad Weber (0-1) Into the fifth row of seats in right-center field for his sixth homer of the season. Cory Gearrin (2-1) threw a scoreless ninth to earn the victory while Craig Kimbrel locked down his 16th save as Atlanta evened the four-game home-and-home series at a win apiece.
Jose Bautista went 2-for-4 with a solo homer and three runs scored for the Blue Jays, who finished 5-4 on their nine-game homestand.
After a pair of Toronto errors led to three Atlanta runs in the first, the Blue Jays responded with four of their own in the bottom half. Edwin Encarnacion doubled in Toronto's first run, Mark DeRosa added a two-run double to the gap in left-center field and Colby Rasmus followed with an RBI single before being thrown out trying to steal second.
Jordan Schafer's solo blast to right evened the game in the second, but Bautista restored Toronto's lead in the fourth with a shot into the second deck in left. Evan Gattis and McCann hit back-to-back homers in the sixth to vault the Braves ahead, but a J.P. Arencibia run-scoring double in the seventh drew Toronto even.
GAME NOTEBOOK: Blue Jays RHP Brandon Morrow lasted just two innings, charged with four runs on four hits before departing with forearm discomfort. RHP Ramon Ortiz, who relieved Morrow and gave up two runs in three innings, was designated for assignment after the game. ... Atlanta LHP Paul Maholm threw six innings, surrendering five runs on 10 hits. ... Gattis has gone deep in five of his last eight games and has 12 home runs, easily topping all rookies.
