ATLANTA — Austin Riley’s walk-off double gave the Braves a 1-0 win over the D-backs on Sunday afternoon at Truist Park.
Matt Olson singled with one out in the bottom of the ninth and then scored from first when Riley followed with his game-ending double to the right-center-field gap off former Braves closer Mark Melancon.
Max Fried allowed four hits over seven scoreless innings and D-backs starter Merrill Kelly limited the Braves to just three hits over seven innings. Riley’s first-inning double accounted for the only extra-base hit surrendered by either of the starting pitchers.
