Drew Smyly threw 5 2/3 innings of 1 hit ball, and Ronald Acuna Jr. hit his 100th career homer in the bottom of the 3rd to give the Braves the victory in game 2, and the series 3 games out of 4.
Smyly held the Cardinals hitless before allowing an infield single to Paul Goldschmidt. Luke Jackson relieved Smyly at that point, and after allowing another infield single to Nolan Arenado, Luke struck out Tyler O’Neill to end the 6th. Will Smith pitched a perfect 7th to record his 13th save.
