the TOMAHAWK Shop 404 avoids floating down the MISSISSIPPI at the LEATHER and MAPLE of the REDBIRDS...MINOR does his work for ATL on the HILL...and BRAVES get to CARDS Starter LYNN..."GET AWAY" Day as the BRAVES are elated to be leaving BASEBALL Town USA #ATLhardball

The Atlanta Braves know they needed one just in case they have to come back in New Busch and get a game or two. Braves Pitcher Mike Minor joined forces with that Braves Line Up to become the Tomahawk Shop 404 once again and the 1st time in the Lou in this 4-piece set as the Braves win 5-2. Minor went seven giving up just one run and he allowed six hits and struck out two. The Redbirds Hitters were a bit off on Minor who had all his pitches going hence he only walked one.

The Cards Starter and thirteen game winner Lance Lynn was touched up as the Braves put three runs up on Lynn and the Cards in the first two innings. Braves CF Jordan Schafer and Hot Corner Elliot Johnson led the Braves out of the lead-off and #2 hole as they combined for 4 hits, two runs, and two RBI's. Freeman and Justin Upton combined to 0 for 7 behind them. The Redbirds get an RBI each from Craig (Cards 2013 RBI Leader) an Holliday.

The Braves keep their double-digit lead in the NL East but lose ground on having the best record in the NL as the Pirates and are just 1 1/2 games back for that honor. The Redbirds are 1/2 back of the Pirates as the Buccos are playing the Gigantes as we speak. They are also #1 in the NL Wild Card with the Red Legs the #2 Wild Card and 2 1/2 games back of the Cards.
