July 21 - There could be long-term ramifications for whomever wins the rubber game between the visiting St. Louis Cardinals and the Atlanta Braves on Sunday.
The teams split a doubleheader on Saturday, with Atlanta winning the opener 3-2 in 10 innings and St. Louis prevailing 9-5 in the nightcap.
If Atlanta wins on Sunday, the Braves will square the season series at 3-3. But if St. Louis wins, the Cardinals will win the season series 4-2 and hold a tiebreaker over the Braves if the two teams are tied at the end of the season.
Atlanta holds a 3 1/2-game lead over St.
