ST. LOUIS (AP) -- Jason Heyward ended a 10-pitch at-bat with a
bases-clearing double in third inning, helping the Atlanta Braves
give rookie Lance Lynn his first loss and beat the St. Louis
Cardinals 7-4 Sunday to complete a three-game sweep.
Tommy Hanson (4-3) allowed one run in five innings with nine
strikeouts and Martin Prado, Freddie Freeman and Dan Uggla each had
an RBI in a three-run seventh. The Braves had lost seven in a row
in St. Louis before Friday and swept the Cardinals for the first
time since Sept. 11-13, 2009, also in St. Louis.
Lynn (6-1) missed a chance to become the franchise's first
pitcher to win his first seven starts of the season dating to 1920,
according to STATS LLC.
Carlos Beltran homered for the sixth time in six games with his
league-leading 13th of the season and Allen Craig hit a three-run
homer off Cristhian Martinez in the ninth for his third hit of the
game.
