Drew Stubbs added a solo home run for the Reds, who extended their season-high winning streak to six games while notching their first four-game sweep against a visiting Braves team since April 9-13, 1980 at Riverfront Stadium.

Homer Bailey (3-3) gave up a two-run homer to Atlanta's Michael Bourn, one of four hits allowed by the right-hander in six innings of work.

Juan Francisco also homered for the Braves, while Randall Delgado (2-5) dropped his fifth straight decision after being tagged for four runs on seven hits and three walks in 5 1/3 innings.
