Cardinals Edge Braves, 2-1
The St. Louis Cardinals earned a close win over the Atlanta Braves, thanks in part to Chris Fama. The St. Louis right-hander, who leads the NL with a 11.7 K/9 rate, played a key role in the 2-1 victory. The win went to Juan Castillo in relief, making him now 1-2. Johnny Davies took the loss for Atlanta. With the win, the Cardinals improved to 34-30.

Had Jay Gunter not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the eighth, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and a runner on 3rd, Gunter hit a run-scoring single. That made the score 2-1, in favor of the Cardinals.

"Chris attacked hitters and trusted his stuff," said St. Louis manager Leyland Thomas.
