Braves 4, Cubs 3 (10 innings)
CHICAGO -- Nick Markakis' sacrifice to deep left produced a 10th inning go-ahead run as the Atlanta Braves went on to beat the Chicago Cubs 4-3 on Sunday.
Markakis' one-out sacrifice drove in Daniel Castro from third with what proved to be the game-winner as the Braves salvaged a split in an abbreviated two-game series.
Atlanta reliever Jason Grilli faced four batters in the ninth his second save for Atlanta (6-18).
The Cubs (17-6) saw a four-game winning streak snapped as Hector Rondon (0-1) took the loss after a one-inning effort.
Arodys Vizcaino (1-0) worked 1 1/3 innings for the win.
Chicago rallied to force a 3-3 tie with two runs in the eighth and another in the ninth.
Addison Russell lined an RBI single to right to score Ben Zobrist with one out in the ninth off Vizcaino for a 3-3 tie.
The comeback spoiled a seven-inning shutout effort by Braves right-hander Julio Teheran. He limited the Cubs to two hits while his Atlanta teammates scratched together enough run support for a 3-2 lead.
Teheran, who remained 0-3 with the no-decision, walked one and struck out nine.
Cubs starter John Lackey also had no decision. He was pulled for a pinch hitter after working eight innings and allowing two earned runs on three hits. Lackey struck out two and walked three.
Trailing 3-0 late, the Cubs trimmed the margin with a pair of eighth-inning runs.
Braves reliever Jim Johnson entered in the eighth and allowed runners to reach second and third with one out before departing for left-hander Hunter Cervenka, who faced one batter.
Jason Heyward grounded to second on a fielder's choice to score pinch hitter Matt Szczur for the Cubs' first run. Vizcaino then gave up an RBI single to left to Kris Bryant, scoring Dexter Fowler to trim the deficit to 3-2.
Fowler led off the Cubs first with an infield single and the Cubs went on to put runners on second and third. They failed to score and didn't get another hit until the fourth and Anthony Rizzo's two-out single to right.
The Braves broke a scoreless tie in the fifth as Kelly Johnson led off with a double to left, reached third on a Tyler Flowers groundout to second and came home on Jace Peterson's sacrifice fly to right for a 1-0 edge.
Atlanta made it 2-0 in the sixth after putting runners at second and third with one out. Mallex Smith scored from third on an Adonis Garcia grounder that was bobbled for an error by Cubs shortstop Addison Russell.
Johnson's RBI grounder into a double play allowed Markakis to come home from third for a 3-0 lead.
Bryant was back in the Cubs' starting lineup after rolling his right ankle on Thursday while rounding the bases against the Brewers. He had a further chance to rest thanks to Saturday's rainout.
While rain stayed away on Sunday, conditions were still March-like with a game-time temperature of 44 degrees, 14-mph winds blowing in from the northeast and a windchill of 39 degrees.
NOTES: Saturday's rainout didn't disrupt pitching lineups, it merely pushed both starters back a day. But figuring out a makeup date remains unresolved. ... The status of Braves utility player Emilio Bonifacio remained in limbo. He was in the clubhouse but could not be activated under MLB rules governing releases and signings. Bonifacio is ineligible to join the Braves until Saturday, leaving Atlanta a player short for Sunday's game. ... The Braves hadn't decided on a starter yet for Monday's series opener at the New York Mets as of Sunday afternoon. ... Two rainouts in the past six days limited the Cubs to just three games in that span. But Sunday's game started a run of 11 games in as many days, including a mini-road trip opening Monday with a three-game series in Pittsburgh. ... Chicago is back home on Thursday to start a four-game set with NL East-leading Washington. ... Cubs RHP Jason Hammel (3-0, 0.75 ERA) meets Pirates RHIP Cerrito Cole (2-2, 2.78) on Monday. ... The Cubs finished 17-5 in April. The last NL team with a similar start was the 2003 San Francisco Giants.
