The Atlanta Braves will try to complete a three-game sweep Thursday night when they wrap up a three-game series against the St. Louis Cardinals. Atlanta jumped on Jon Lester early in the opener Tuesday and cruised to a 6-1 win. They fell behind early Wednesday but mounted a late comeback to win 7-4 and to climb back to the .500 mark for the season. Touki Toussaint will be on the mound for the Braves while the Cardinals will counter with left-hander Wade LeBlanc.
