Atlanta Absorbs 9-4 Loss to St. Louis
At SunTrust Park, the Atlanta Firebirds and St. Louis Cardinals were greeted by an enthusiastic crowd.

The St. Louis Cardinals beat the Atlanta Firebirds by a score of 9-4. St. Louis right fielder Jason Heyward deserved the lion's share of the credit. Heyward was 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 2 runs and driving in 2 for the Cardinals. The Cardinals, now 16-9, have been playing some good baseball.

With St. Louis leading 1-0 in the top of the first, Heyward hit a sinker from Tomás Sánchez for a 2-run home run. It was his 2nd home run of the season and put the Cardinals ahead, 3-0.

"Our approach was just to try to see something over the plate and be aggressive," Heyward told the St. Louis Daily.
