Homers from Carp, Pham put Cards ahead (again) in Atlanta

ATLANTA • Perhaps they need to rethink the name of this area.

The Battery, as Atlanta has chosen to call the district rising around new SunTrust Park, has been oh-so welcoming to opposing teams in the early days of the suburban ballpark. The Cardinals scored 10 runs in their first game, five in their, and they've already opened a 4-0 lead on the Braves early in their series finale Sunday.

Matt Carpenter has hit his third home run in as many days in Atlanta, the third Cardinals player to do that in a three game series against the Braves.
