ATLANTA – Austin Riley knew that he had a good chance of scoring from the first goal as soon as Ozzie Albies would come into contact.
The left-field player who hits hard does not know he'll get the green light from third base coach Ron Washington.
"I knew it was out of the way, so let's run as hard as I can," Riley said. "If he wants to stop, he'll stop me." He did not stop me. A good shot of Ozzie and a good team victory. "
Riley tied the game with a solo circuit in the ninth inning and scored Albias' winning double Michael Feliz in 11th place, leading the Atlanta Braves to the Pittsburgh Pirates 8-7 for their sixth victory consecutive Wednesday night.
The Braves (39-29) took control of first place in the NL East and won 10 games over .500 for the first time this season.
Josh Bell scored a decisive solo in front of Atlanta rapper Luke Jackson topping the ninth. Riley, who had a two-point triple in the opening game, took Kyle Crick deep into the net to score a total of 7 points in the bottom half.
After Riley had been hit by a left-hand shot in the 11th, Albies pushed a gapper to the center-right and Riley slid his head first on the plate to finish it.
"As soon as I hit it in the gap," said Albies, "I knew he was going to score and win this game."
Jacob Webb (4-0) launched two rounds to win.
Feliz (2-3) took the loss.
The rain delayed the game from 55 minutes to seventh.
Braves starter Mike Soroka scored career points with five points and 10 hits in five innings. The 21-year-old started the night after conceding one point or less in nine out of ten starts this season, but did not take that decision into account. Soroka, whose ERA has increased 54 points to 1.92, has crossed one and has withdrawn three.
Atlanta led 3-0 in the first goal on Nick Markakis' single RBI and Riley's triple. The Braves won 4-2 in second after Freddie Freeman's single RBI and 6-2 in third after Soroka's singles.
Pittsburgh won 3-2 in second on the RBI singles by Adam Frazier and Elias Diaz and 6-4 in fourth on the Kevin Newman double. The 10th circuit of Starling Marte reduced the margin to 6-5 in the fifth.
The Pirates drew 6-all in sixth against Josh Tomlin. Gregory Polanco had a single single, finished third in Newman's single and scored on the sacrifice of Corey Dickerson.
"We had a little back against the wall, but we fought back and we gave ourselves a chance," said Bell, who leads the majors with 61 RBIs. "It's a good mojo for tomorrow.
Mitch Keller, making his second career start for Pittsburgh, allowed six runs and 10 hits in three sets. His ERA increased by 1.93 points to 15.43.
TRAINER ROOM
Pirates: Director of Sports Medicine, Tom Tomcyzk, said that C Francisco Cervelli, on the list of injured after a concussion since May 26, showed no symptoms and should be re-examined by a neurologist in the coming days. Tomcyzk said that Cervelli felt normal in everyday life, but that it still needs to be cleared. Cervelli, 33, has been injured in the head during his 12-year career, including six documented concussions since 2011.
Braves: CF Ender Inciarte, on the list of injured since May 15 with low back pain, still has no schedule for the resumption of baseball activities. "He's always biting it a bit. I think he has good days, bad days, taking one day at a time, "said manager Brian Snitker. "He's not in that position now to even look ahead where he could – until he starts running the basics, hitting and all that."
SHARP PLAY
Braves, Dansby Swanson, played a third-third goal. Running in the left field, he hit the third baseman, Josh Donaldson, slightly as the two players chased the shallow fly. Swanson called Donaldson and Riley to turn around and make a difficult catch.
PLUS RILEY
The rookie became the fastest player in franchise history to have reached 10 homers, in 26 games to break the mark set by Wally Berger of the Boston Braves in 1930. Riley also equaled Earl Torgeson of the Braves from Boston from 1947 to 29 RBI, in 26 games. … Riley had his left hand wrapped in the ice after the match. He said that it was wrong to have been touched by the terrain, but not in pain.
SIGNS OF LANGUAGES
The Braves signed their first-round pick, receiver Baylor, Shea Langeliers. Atlanta chose Langeliers with the ninth overall selection, as compensation for not signing last year's # 8 pick, Carter Carter.

Pirates: Half-champ Joe Musgrove (4-6, 4.40) starts for the second time in the four-game series after being ejected in the first round on Monday after a confrontation with Donaldson.
