Braves Get First St. Louis Sweep In 10 Years

ATLANTA (AP) — Jason Heyward homered and drove in two runs to help the Atlanta Braves beat St. Louis 5-2 on Sunday night, capping their first three-game sweep of the Cardinals at home in 10 years. The Braves broke a 2-all tie with two runs in the sixth inning off rookie Shelby Miller (10-7) and two relievers. Pinch-hitter Joey Terdoslavich drove in Chris Johnson with the go-ahead run. Heyward added another run-scoring single. Heyward has nine homers this season, including two in the series between NL division leaders. Kris Medlen (7-10) allowed two runs on eight hits and a walk in six innings to snap his three-game losing streak. Copyright by STATS LLC and The Associated Press
