Speaking of their 50 victory of the season last night, they turn their attention to Matthew Liberator to beat this Braves team last year when he saw them with the strikeouts that were career high tying eight of them. Just the one walk in six shutout innings. Junior will lead off for Atlanta and late news tonight, he was scheduled to participate in the home run derby. He will not do that. Olson will take his place hitters count pitch on the way, smoked out to left field down for a base hit all the way to the base of the left field wall. Ronald is at second base with the leadoff double. The challenge him three straight fastballs jumped all over this one. You got a shot now, one down in the runner at second as is now zero for one has been awfully kind of the Braves since 2019 2019. That’s when Austin Riley made his debut and since Then, he has crushed the Cardinals from in the dirt going to the back over to third base runner at third base. No score for now. That could change right here to and hit one of the air to center field coming in. Victor scott, he can’t get there bounces in front of him as he went diving for it and he knocked it down and it’s one nothing Braves on the RB I single by Riley who continues to be a cardinal killer in his career in his career is now hitting over 360 versus the Cardinals runner at first one down. One nothing Braves in the top of the first inning. Mad in the hands of Sean Murphy two to Murphy and he mash is one deep left center. Put some heat into that baby. It’s a two run homer by Murphy long gone into the bleachers. Three nothing Braves 437 for Murph. 02 count pretty bad pitch from Liver tour for sean Murphy. Brad sticker mentioned this in the pregame show. He wanted to see more at bats against lefties pays off first. There may be a couple of mvps the first half for the Braves. We know one of them has got to be great Holmes. Absolutely. The best news for Grant first pitch he throws tonight will be with a 30 lead. Brendan Donovan hitting 296 leads the club with 22 doubles. The Cardinals need to answer back 12 pitch served over short with a base hit with two strikes. That’s the approach we saw last night and the Cardinals big run in dancing to second base RB I opportunity for Buehrle and he has a 1 to 0 count and the next delivery is ribbon into right field for a hit past the first baseman Olson going to go to the corner. Donovan makes it home. And in the second base with a stand up double is Alec Burleson and the Cardinals with a nice response here at the bottom of the first inning. It’s now 3 to 1. Atlanta Wilson Contreras who represents the tying run just like that too short for a base hit. He’s going to come home and score to make it a 3 to 2 game. Contreras with RB I number 53. I love this response. Absolutely love it. S New Bar, the Cardinal left fielder and 2 to 2 pitch and a called third strike curveball right at the bottom of the zone and New Bar was left guessing kind of jelly legged him with that hook two down for Nolan Arenado. Here comes the eighth pitch of the battle that’s low and outside throw down to second base. Ozzie puts the tag down and they got it. Contreras with a delayed steal down to second base. By the time they sent it down there, they had him by a mile one down for Michael Harris. He’s trying to figure things out. 12 from Liberator that will be yanked down the right field line and a base hit for Harris that rolls all the way to the wall. That’s a great sign he was down one and two, got a pitch he could handle and shot it down the right field line to the wall for Harris. That’s just his third extra base hit in his last 21 games. He’s at second one down batting the hands of Ronal De who’s one for one with a double kick and fires a 21 and that will be sizzled down the left field line , bangs off the side walls in the left field. Harris will score. So it’s a single by cunha but damage it’s 42 Braves in the second bullet from ronald. Really good to see after the tough day yesterday. Cardinals have them loaded for. I think a guy you want up right now. Brendan Donovan Holmes set right at the letters 21 pitch and a fly ball to left field pro far coming in medium depth. He is under it and he’s got it. Arenado tags at third and holds good throw out of left field cut next to the mound by. That wasn’t deep enough for Arenado to think about it big out there two down, but he still got to go through Mason win and the payoff pitch popped up foul ground to his left right in front of the cardinal dugout. He’s got it and the Cardinals leave the bases loaded. The conclave of Cardinals left the board and no one scores has the biggest knock of the game for the Braves. A two run homer belted into the bleachers in left field back in the first inning. He has been swinging a really good bat lately. The 32 and Murphy with a deep drive to center. He might deep again. Goodbye straight away. Center field. What an at bat on the 13th pitch of the at bat, he launches one to dead center and out of the yard for his second homer of the game. The first homer 437 ft. This one best that one at 4, 40 two of the longest homers hit at Busch Stadium have come in this game by sean Murphy’s profile with his second double of the year and Braves try to put some distance between themselves and the Cardinals. Here comes Drake Baldwin 11 pitch whacked out towards the gap in right center field and that will be rolling to the edge of the warning track. Had an RB I single for Drake Baldwin. Such an impressive rookie campaign for Drake Baldwin. Can he get enough at bats to win rookie of the year? I think he can, I think he can. He’s certainly in the conversation infield will come in for Michael Harris popped him up. It’s going to be victor runner tags. Here comes the throw to the plate. It’s close. So they’re going to challenge this one. I think the call on the field is going to end up standing the foot, beat it but popped up foot in the air tag applied and Then foot on the back side of the plate and here it is have to review the call on the field is confirmed. The runner is out 82 double play. Nice going Victor scott his third assist of the season. So for the second straight inning, the Cardinals have three men aboard this time with two outs. Pedro Pa stands in, he can break this thing open and he swings and hits one in the right center. That ball is going to get down. One run is going to score. Here comes another, the first pitch. This has all the makings of one of those wild 98 games. Good news is the Redbirds would bat last victor scott with a single this evening runners at 1st and 3rd 2 out. Let’s see if we can keep this going a fastball and it got a one run game. Cardinals do not quit. They fall behind, they don’t panic. They just go to 12 outs. Nobody on and Mason will be wins a bottle rocket. The shallow center, Allen allies Harris in the neighborhood. This is Harris ball. He’s got it and down. They go 123 inning by austin Cox. So Contreras stands in runner at first, they play Wilson to pull just a little bit on the infield , another pitch on the way and Contreras lines one in the left centerfield that’s going to get down for a hit. So the Cardinals in business again, two outs and it is up to Gorman two balls and a strike on Nolan Gorman and there’s a ball popped up on the infield now, just back of the infield, cut out into shallow left. Goes Allen. He calls off profar and Nick Allen makes the squeeze for out. Number three and two more men left the board for the red with 23 stolen bases is aboard. And will he test the catcher Baldwin a first base? What a move by Pierce Johnson is the runner out. That’s a beautiful thing right there trying to battle back, falling behind. Right. He spins it up there. 31, apply ball to the left field pro going to go back to the warning track. He’s there. Nice path to the ball by Jerson profar got to that spot quickly right in front of the Braves bullpen and he’s got the out for out. Number 32, fly outs to center field and the Braves are one out away from a victory tonight in ST Louis and he’s been attacking the first two hitters of fastballs. I like it. Well, Contreras is the man on the roster who has seen Iglesias the most in his career. He is one for 11 in his career versus Iglesias. He got him, Tennessee Wilson Contreras and the Braves sleep deprived but victorious 6 to 5, they win game one at Busch Stadium and they’ll sleep a little better tonight. After this big win.
