Cardinals Prevail, 2-1, Over Atlanta
Mike Soroka pitched well enough to win, but it was not to be. The Atlanta Braves, despite Soroka's fine outing, dropped a 2-1 decision to the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium. The winning pitcher was Miles Mikolas. He's now 2-2. He went 5.2 innings, allowing 1 run on 5 hits for the Cardinals. The second-place Cardinals improved to 21-27.

The Cardinals got a big at-bat from left fielder Brad Miller. For the game, Miller went 1 for 3 with a home run, while adding 2 RBI and scoring once. In the bottom of the fourth, with a runner on 1st, he stroked a 2-run home run. His 4th home run of the season gave St. Louis a 2-1 lead.

Miller said his team "played with determination."
