Cardinals top the Braves in first series back from the All-Star break

ATLANTA, Ga. (KMIZ)

The St. Louis Cardinals started off the second half of the 2024 season with a series win over the Atlanta Braves, on Sunday. STL took the rubber match 6-2 to improve to 52-47 overall.

Paul Goldschmidt, Alec Burleson, Lars Nootbaar and Wilson Contreras each hit home runs in the road win. Burleson led the charge at the plate, though, as he had a homer and two RBI, which marks the sixth-straight game he's brought a run home. If he makes it to seven-straight games with an RBI, it will be a Cardinals record.

Miles Mikolas earned the win on the hill for skipper Oli Marmol.
