					| Cardinals Stumble, Lose to Braves |  
					| Atlanta beat St. Louis on the strength of starter Curt Stevens's fine effort. The right-hander led his team to a win, 8-3. Stevens, now 3-2, was the winner. In 8 innings, he gave up 8 hits, while striking out 11, walking 1, and allowing 3 runs. The loss puts St. Louis at 16-17. 
 Atlanta relied on the hitting of David Casas to pick up the win. The designated hitter ripped a 2-run  single in the top of the third inning to put the Braves on top, 3-0. For the game, Casas had 1 triple and 2 singles in 5 at-bats.
 
 "We swung the bats good throughout the lineup," said Atlanta skipper Andres Wray II.
