St. Louis Upended by Atlanta, 3-2
In a tight contest between the Atlanta Braves and the St. Louis Cardinals, Clayton Kershaw was the determining factor. The Atlanta left-hander sparkled in his team's 3-2 win. Kershaw yielded 2 runs over 8 innings to notch the win. He scattered 6 hits, walked 0, and struck out 6. His record improves to 5-7. Atlanta bumps their record to 27-49 with the win.

Atlanta took a 3-0 lead on Luis Constante's 3rd home run of the season. The solo home run, which Constante hit in the top of the eighth, left St. Louis pitcher Neftali Feliz visibly frustrated.

"We faced good pitching and still got it done," said Constante.
