The St. Louis Cardinals and Atlanta Braves played their final game of a three game series. In just the first inning both teams opened up and scored a combined eight runs. Unfortunately for St. Louis, Atlanta was on the winning side of the inning with five of those eight runs. The pace of the game slowed down and both teams went scoreless through the sixth inning. During the top of the seventh, a Nathan Church home run energized the Cardinals, and they blew the game open with seven scored runs in the inning. The Red Birds went on to defeat the Braves, 11-5 and took the series 2-1.
