With Charlie Morton on the mound, the Braves sought their 80th win of 2022 and the series win over the Cardinals.
The first three innings were mostly quiet with only a few scattered baserunners. The Braves got things going in the fourth with three straight 100+ MPH batted balls, resulting in two singles and an oppo homer from Travis d’Arnaud to score the first three runs. A Wild Bill Contreras double and a Michael Harris chopper single added on a fourth before the inning was over. A walk and a homer brought two runs back for the Cardinals against Morton in the bottom of the fourth.
