CINCINNATI -- Devin Mesoraco snapped a 0-for-15 slump in the best possible way, leading off the 10th inning with a home run off Jose Ramirez to lift the Cincinnati Reds to a 3-2 comeback win over the Atlanta Braves on Friday.

Mesoraco completed the Reds' comeback from a 2-0 ninth-inning deficit with his first career walkoff homer, sending the Braves to their third straight loss and fifth in the last six games.

Raisel Iglesias (2-0) pitched the 10th for the Reds, who snapped a three-game losing streak.

Adam Duvall and Eugenio Suarez recorded doubles to lead off the ninth against Braves closer Jim Johnson, cutting Atlanta's lead to 2-1. Suarez advanced to third with two outs and scored the tying run on a wild pitch.

Atlanta right-hander Mike Foltynewicz allowed two hits over seven shutout innings and tied his career-high with 10 strikeouts. Bronson Arroyo matched his season-low in runs allowed with just two and season-high in innings with six.

Dansby Swanson homered, Matt Kemp had a double among his three hits and Adonis Garcia had two hits and scored a run in his first game off the disabled list for Atlanta.

Braves' second baseman Brandon Phillips was 0-for-5 in his first game back in Cincinnati after spending 11 seasons with the Reds.

Garcia, activated from the disabled list before Friday's game, logged the first hit with a soft liner to left-center field leading off the third inning. He eventually scored on Ender Inciarte's sacrifice fly to give Atlanta a 1-0 lead.

Right fielder Scott Schebler prevented another run with a full-sprint, backhanded stab of Phillips' hard line drive to end the inning.

Garcia collected an infield hit with two outs and runners on first and second in the fourth, but Kemp was easily thrown out at the plate by first baseman Joey Votto while trying to sneak in a run.

Swanson gave the Braves a 2-0 lead with his fifth homer of the season leading off the fifth inning. The solo homer was the 15th allowed by Arroyo, who has been reached for a major-league-leading 19 overall.

Foltynewicz, whose season high in strikeouts was nine going into the game, had eight through five innings, including four called third strikes.

NOTES: The Braves made six roster moves before Friday's game, activating Garcia and LHP Eric O'Flaherty from the 10-day disabled list, recalling INF Johan Camargo from Triple-A Gwinnett, designating OF Emilio Bonifacio for assignment and optioning INF/OF Jace Peterson and RHP Matt Wisler to Gwinnett. ... A Major League Baseball review of Colorado 3B Nolan Arenado's play on a Billy Hamilton bouncer on May 21 prompted a change in the scoring from an error to an infield hit. The change left Hamilton with a career-high streak of 23 consecutive games in which he reached base with either a hit or a walk or being hit by a pitch. The streak was stopped on May 24 at Cleveland. ... Reds LHP Tony Cingrani and Amir Garrett are on track to be activated from the disabled list within the next few days.
