Cardinals Drop 3-1 Decision to Braves
The Atlanta Braves got a magnificent performance from pitcher Spencer Strider, who muffled the St. Louis offense en route to a tight 3-1 Braves win at Truist Park. A.J. Minter earned his 17th save in 20 tries. The win lifted the Atlanta record to 52-46.

Early in the game, catcher Sean Murphy had a 2-run double for Atlanta. It was his 22nd double of the season and put the Braves on top, 2-1.

"This was a tough loss," said St. Louis manager David Mendel. "It'll stick in my craw for a while."
