Cardinals Seven Run 7th Inning Leads to 11-5 Win Over Atlanta
Jordan Walker drove in four runs and Nathan Church hit a tying two-run homer as St. Louis scored seven in the seventh.
On Thursday, the St. Louis Cardinals defeated the Atlanta Braves 11-5, rallying from a 5-3 deficit with a seven-run seventh inning. Jordan Walker homered and drove in four runs to lead the comeback.
Atlanta established an early 5-3 lead behind Dominic Smith, who drove in three runs during the first inning. St. Louis starter Dustin May exited early after Smith's liner struck his right ankle.
The Cardinals erupted in the seventh as Nathan Church hit a game-tying two-run homer off Tyler Kinley. JJ Wetherholt followed with a go-ahead RBI single against Dylan Lee, sparking the decisive frame.
Following the series loss, Atlanta designated veteran first baseman Rowdy Tellez for assignment. Shortstop Jim Jarvis was recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett to bolster the roster.
St. Louis opens a weekend series against the Chicago Cubs on Friday. Atlanta begins a four-game home set against the New York Mets, with RHP Grant Holmes scheduled to start.
