Matt Olson, Bryce Elder lead Braves over Cardinals

Matt Olson had a big day at the plate and Bryce Elder took care of business on the mound to help the Atlanta Braves to a 5-2 win over the St. Louis Cardinals.

Cardinals starter Miles Mikolas struggled on Opening Day and the Braves didn’t give him an opportunity to get comfortable. Ronald Acuña Jr. got things started by beating out a routine ground ball to shortstop Tommy Edman for an infield single. He then motored around the bases as Matt Olson dropped in a double for a 1-0 lead.
