Cardinals swept in Atlanta for first time in ten years

July 29, 2013 By Bill Pollock

The Cardinals lead the National League in batting average and scoring, but were held to a total of three runs in this three game series with the Braves, who swept the Cardinals for the first time since April 2003 in Atlanta, following a 5-2 final.

Jason Heyward homered and drove in two runs. The Braves broke a 2-2 tie by scoring two runs in the sixth inning off starter Shelby Miller and relievers Seth Maness and Kevin Siegrist. Pinch-hitter Joey Terdoslavich drove in Chris Johnson for the go-ahead run and Heyward added a run-scoring single.

Down 2-0, the Cardinals tied the game in the fifth inning with back-to-back doubles by Pete Kozma and Miller. Then with two outs, Carlos Beltran dropped a fly-ball single to left field that fell between Evan Gattis and Andrelton Simmons.

Braves third baseman Chris Johnson went 3 for 4 and Yadier Molina went 2 for 4. Johnson now leads Molina for the NL batting title, .338 to .334.
