Austin Riley came a triple away from hitting for the cycle, as his two-run homer in the first inning was part of an opening-inning blitz that eventually turned into a 7-1 win for the Braves over the Cardinals.
Both teams wasted little time getting on the scoreboard on this one — though the home team saw much more success than the road team did. Ian Anderson was going smoothly for the first two outs of the game but then he got into the heart of the Cardinals order. That meant that he had to go through Paul Goldschmidt and Nolan Arenado.
