    Austin Riley knew he had a good chance to score from first base as soon as Ozzie Albies made contact.

    The power-hitting left fielder just didn't know whether he'd get the green light from third base coach Ron Washington.

    "I knew it was in the gap, so run as hard as I can," Riley said. "If he wants to stop me, he'll stop me. He didn't stop me. A good hit by Ozzie and a good team win."

    Riley tied the game with a solo homer in the ninth inning and scored the winning run on Albies' double off Michael Feliz in the 11th, leading the Atlanta Braves past the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-7 for their sixth straight victory Wednesday night.
