ST. LOUIS — Brendan Donovan had three hits with an RBI and Lance Lynn pitched into the seventh inning, lifting the St. Louis Cardinals over the Atlanta Braves 4-3 on Monday night for their fourth straight win and ninth in 12 games.

“To beat that ballclub, and that’s a really good ballclub over there, that’s a good night,” St. Louis manager Oliver Marmol said.

St. Louis is 25-13 after a 15-24 start, moving three games over .500 for the first time since the end of the 2022 season.

Atlanta had won eight of its previous 10 games.

“We couldn’t get anything going in the early part of the game,” Atlanta manger Brian Snitker said. “I just wish we could have swung the bats earlier. We just couldn’t get anything going our way.”
