Doyle Alexander made his first start of the season and it was masterful. He shut down the Cards on 4 hits through 7 innings and, thanks to timely hitting, picked up the victory to raise Atlanta's season record to 20-25. He got help from his bullpen as Paul Assenmacher pitched the 8th and Jim Acker tossed a scoreless 9th to record his 6th save of the season.
Despite the victory, Chuck Tanner received some bad news in the Game Day pre-game check. Due to unfortunate dice rolls, the Braves will be Dissonant until further notice.
The final game of the series and the road trip will see Rick Mahler for Atlanta vs lefty Tim Conroy for the Cardinals. After this game, the Braves will return to the friendly confines of Fulton County Stadium for a 12 game home stand vs Chicago, Pittsburgh, Los Angeles, and San Diego.
