ATLANTA (AP) — Marcell Ozuna drove in three runs with a bases-loaded double in Atlanta’s five-run third inning, Charlie Morton gave up only three hits to Pittsburgh, his former home, and the Braves beat the Pirates 6-1. Austin Riley hit his ninth homer, including six in the last 14 games. The highlight for the Pirates on Friday night came in the eighth when Bryan Reynolds singled to extend his hitting streak to 24 games, the longest in the majors this season. Morton was dominant in only his second career start against Pittsburgh, where he pitched from 2009 through 2015.
