Cardinals Hand Atlanta 3-1 Loss
In a low-scoring game between the St. Louis Cardinals and the Atlanta Hammers, pitcher Ed Franklin was masterful on the mound. The St. Louis right-hander spearheaded his team's 3-1 win. Franklin yielded 1 run over 7 innings to notch the win. He scattered 5 hits, walked 0, and struck out 7. His record improves to 7-6. R.J. Alvarez was credited with the save. He has now successfully converted 7 of 8 save opportunities.

The Hammers had been locked in a 1-1 tie with the Cardinals going into the bottom of the sixth inning. That changed quickly when the 11-year veteran Blake Swihart came to the plate. Swihart hit a 2-run home run on a full count cutter from Atlanta hurler Chad Jackson. It was Swihart's 6th home run of the year.

"We can always improve and get better, but we're feeling confident after that win," said Swihart.

St. Louis is now 40-55, Atlanta 40-54.
