ST. LOUIS – Adam Duvall and Jorge Soler homered and veteran catcher Stephen Vogt drove in the game-winning run with a sacrifice fly as the Atlanta Braves beat the St. Louis Cardinals 7-4 on Wednesday night.
Dansby Swanson went 4-for-4 and scored three runs for the Braves, who won two games in a row for the first time since the All-Star break and moved to .500 overall this season at 54-54. Duvall, Soler and Vogt were all picked up via trades within the past month.
“That was a really good win for us,” Atlanta manager Brian Snitker said. “All the guys we acquired were instrumental to making that happen. A lot of really good things happened tonight.”
Will Smith, the sixth pitcher used by Atlanta in the game, picked up his 22nd save with a 1-2-3 ninth.
The Braves, who have won eight of their past nine games at Busch Stadium, will try to sweep the three-game series Thursday night. It’s also their newest chance to get above .500 for the first time this season.
