After the Atlanta Braves tied the game late, the game swung without them taking one, and the Cardinals did not stop them from walking away with a win.
Atlanta upended the Cardinals’ lead in the eighth inning against their two leading relievers, turning a tidy game into an absolute mess as the Cardinals lost control of more than the game. The Braves scored six times in the eighth inning for an 8-4 victory Thursday and a series sweep at Busch Stadium.
The four runs that made the difference all scored on bases-loaded walks.
That Braves had the best view as they watched themselves win.
