The last time the Braves faced the Cardinals, they faced a team in disarray. The Braves wound up sweeping the three-game series at Busch Stadium, and Mike Matheny was removed from his managerial post shortly thereafter.
Fast forward to today, where the Cardinals are tied with the Dodgers for the second National League wild card spot, and manager Mike Schildt is one of baseball’s best second-half stories. They come to SunTrust Park to face a Braves squad who looks to rebound after dropping a weekend series to the Nationals.
Last week against the Giants, Mike Foltynewicz threw his second complete game of the season.
