Michael Harris II led to the shots race with a sacrificial fly and Sean Murphy followed with a three-point circuit in the eighth round while the Braves of Atlanta came from behind to beat the Cardinals of St. Louis on Visit 7-6 on Monday and extend their sequence of victories with four games.
The five-point rally against the lifter Phil Maton (0-1) started when Austin Riley beat a single on the field, which was originally called but overturned after rereading. Marcel Ozuna walked and Matt Olson equaled the match at 3-3 with a simple RBI on the right, sending the runner Pinch Eli White to the third. After Ozzie Albies walked to load the bases, the manager of St. Louis, Oliver Marmol, was ejected during the modification of the launchers.
Jojo Romero entered and Harris struck a fly to the right which was deep enough to mark the quick white. Murphy followed with his fifth circuit, a deep shot on the left field.
The winning launcher was Daysbel Hernandez (2-0). Closer Raisel Iglesias granted three points in the ninth round, including a two -point circuit in Willson Contreras. After a walk, Iglesias forced Nolan Arenado to finish the match, although Iglesias did not get a safeguard.
None of the two starting launchers appeared in the decision. Erick Fedde de St. Louis launched six heats and only granted two points over five strokes and three ball goals with three stick withdrawals. Spencer Schwellenbach of Atlanta launched seven rounds and granted three points (two deserved) at eight strokes with five stick withdrawals.
The cardinals scored twice in the second round. Nolan Gorman started the rally with a double with two withdrawals, then scored after Pedro Pages chose the right field and Olson launched high trying to launch behind Gorman to the third goal. Pages marked on a single from Victor Scott II.
The Braves equaled the match in the fourth round when Riley struck a circuit of 412 feet on the left field, a shot of two sleeves and his sixth ball of the season. It was the seventh circuit in the last 12 games against the Cardinals for Riley and the 10th of his career against Saint-Louis.
The cardinals took ahead 3-2 when Arenado doubled, went to third place on the error in setting up the second goal Albies and scored on the simple of Gorman on the right.
