Adam Duvall, Joc Pederson lead Braves past Cards

Adam Duvall hit a two-run homer and Joc Pederson hit a two-run double to drive the visiting Atlanta Braves past the St. Louis Cardinals 7-4 on Wednesday night.

Jorge Soler hit homer run for the second straight game and Dansby Swanson went 4-for-4 and scored three runs for the retooled Braves -- who reacquired Duvall and added Pederson and Soler with in-season trades.

The Braves won back-to-back games for the first time since their three-game winning streak July 7-10. They pulled back to .500 and stayed within two and a half games of the National League East-leading New York Mets.
