Cardinals Tagged with 7-5 Loss
Atlanta played host to St. Louis at Turner Field.

A 3-RBI performance from designated hitter Esteban Armelini, who finished 4th in the NL in extra base hits with 77 in 2009, led the Atlanta Braves to a win over the St. Louis Cardinals, 7-5. The win cannot erase the fact that Atlanta still has a disappointing 46-112 record.

Armelini contributed a big hit, a 3-run home run, for Atlanta in the bottom of the fourth. With his team trailing 3-2, Armelini took a slider from Marc Rzepczynski and stroked the home run to left. His 16th home run of the season allowed the Braves to leap in front, 5-3.

"Trying isn't good enough in this league," said Armelini. "You've got to get results."
