ATLANTA (AP) _ Tommy Pham hit two homers, including a two-run drive in the 14th
inning, and the St. Louis Cardinals recovered after blowing a four-run lead to
beat the Atlanta Braves 6-4 on Sunday and complete a three-game sweep.
Pham’s long home run in the 14th off Josh Collmenter (0-1) drove in rookie
Magneuris Sierra, who reached on second baseman Jace Peterson’s fielding error.
Recalled from Triple-A Memphis on Friday, Pham had a career-high four hits and
drove in three runs.
Freddie Freeman’s 11th homer off Brett Cecil in the eighth tied the game,
completing Atlanta’s comeback from a 4-0 deficit.
Matt Carpenter had a first-inning homer for St. Louis. He went deep in all
three games during the series, giving him seven home runs this season.
The Cardinals begin a three-game series in Miami Monday night. Carlos
Martinez (1-3) starts for St. Louis while Adam Conley (2-2) goes for the
Marlins. Game time is 6:10 with the pre-game at 5:15 on KTLO-AM.
