ATLANTA (AP) — Travis d’Arnaud run-scoring single in the 11th capped Atlanta’s second comeback in extra innings, and the Braves beat the Houston Astros 5-4. Matt Olson’s check-swing double through an empty spot in the infield was the key hit as Atlanta won for the 11th time in 12 games. A pair of solo homers in the fifth provided the only scoring until extras. Jeremy Peña went deep for the Astros in the top half of the inning, but rookie Vaughn Grissom answered for the Braves in the bottom half. Houston’s Cristian Javier and Atlanta’s Spencer Strider each pitched six strong innings.
