Cardinals Stymie Atlanta, Take 4-1 Win
The St. Louis Cardinals got a good effort from starter Jorge De La Rosa in defeating the Atlanta Braves at Busch Stadium. The final score was 4-1. Nick Masset was called on to finish, recording his 1st save. St. Louis has a mark of 5-1 after the win.

St. Louis took a 3-1 lead on Pedro Alvarez's 1st home run of the season. The solo home run came off Atlanta pitcher Jason Schmidt in the bottom of the seventh.

"I don't feel you win baseball games by working harder than the other team or 'wanting it more,'" Alvarez told the St. Louis Bulletin. "You win just by scoring more runs."
