Cincinnati, OH (Sports Network) - Jay Bruce continued his scorching first week in the majors, going 2-for-3 with a solo homer and an RBI single, and the Reds capped a three-game sweep of the Atlanta Braves with a 6-2 win.

Ken Griffey Jr., who belted career home run No. 599 on Saturday, remained one shy of the 600 club, but did go 2-for-3 and scored a run. Johnny Cueto (4-5) didn't allow a hit until the sixth inning, and finished up letting up two runs on four hits with three strikeouts and a walk in seven frames.

Bruce has gone 13-for-22 with two home runs -- the first a game-ending shot in Saturday's 8-7, 10-inning win -- since being called up.

Adam Dunn also homered for the Reds, who swept the Braves in Cincinnati for the first time in 12 years, and have won five of six overall.

Tim Hudson (7-4) let up seven hits and four runs -- three earned -- with three strikeouts and three walks in seven-plus innings. Hudson left in the seventh with a strained left hamstring. Back-to-back homers by Mark Teixeira and Brian McCann in the seventh provided the only offense for the Braves, who went 1-5 on a road trip through Cincinnati and Milwaukee to fall to 7-21 on the road.

The Reds pulled away with three runs in the seventh. Edwin Encarnacion led off with a single to left, and Hudson pulled up lame after that pitch, limping around the mound and doubling over before leaving. A Paul Bako sac bunt, and a Yunel Escobar throwing error put runners at the corners, and Jerry Hairston Jr. executed a suicide squeeze bunt, plating one insurance run.

Bruce followed with a single to left, scoring another run. Griffey was issued an intentional walk, and Buddy Carlyle then walked Brandon Phillips before a wild pitch that allowed Bruce to score. Carlyle got out of the jam by intentionally walking Dunn to load the bases and getting Joey Votto to fly out to left, but the damage was already done.

The Braves got two men on with two outs in the ninth against Jared Burton, but pinch-hitter Ruben Gotay grounded out to first to end the game.

Dunn gave the Reds the early advantage with his lead-off blast in the second, a drive to the stands in right. Bruce gave the Reds a 2-0 lead with his second home run in as many days, a solo shot to right with one out in the third.

Griffey followed with a double to right, and came home on a Phillips double to center. Phillips was thrown out trying to head to third, though, and Dunn grounded out to end the inning.

Cueto breezed through the first five innings, retiring 19 of the first 20 batters, and no-hitting the Braves until Gregor Blanco reached on a bunt to lead off the sixth. The Atlanta lineup sprung to life in the seventh, though, on consecutive solo shots by Teixeira and McCann.

After a Chipper Jones groundout to start the frame, Teixeira went deep to right, his eighth of the season. McCann followed with another long fly ball to right, his 10th of the campaign, slicing the Cincinnati lead to 3-2. Jeff Francoeur roped a double to left, but Cueto bore down, getting Greg Norton to foul out and Blanco to fly out to center to hold the lead.
