Apr 21, 2025; Atlanta, Georgia, USA; St. Louis Cardinals first baseman Willson Contreras (40) celebrates after a two-run home run against the Atlanta Braves in the ninth inning at Truist Park. Mandatory Credit: Brett Davis-Imagn Images Nolan Gorman’s tiebreaking three-run double in the eighth inning lifted the visiting St. Louis Cardinals to a 10-4 win over the Atlanta Braves on Tuesday, ending their five-game losing streak.
In a 4-4 game, Gorman lined a changeup from Enyel De Los Santos (1-1) into the right field corner to clear the bases. Gorman has seven extra-base hits and 12 RBIs in his last seven games in Atlanta.
The Cardinals evened the three-game series and ended Atlanta’s four-game winning streak. It was only the second road win in 11 tries for St. Louis.
Steven Matz (2-0), the second pitcher used by the Cardinals, picked up the win. He threw 2 2/3 scoreless innings, allowed one hit, one walk and fanned two. Kyle Leahy and Ryan Helsley each pitched a scoreless inning to finish the game.
Neither starter received a decision. The Braves selected Scott Blewett, who the team acquired from Baltimore on Sunday, as the opener. He worked three innings and allowed two runs on four hits, issued two walks and struck out one. St. Louis starter Andre Pallante went 4 1/3 innings and allowed four runs on seven hits, three walks and one strikeout.
The Cardinals opened the scoring in the third when Lars Nootbaar ended a 1-for-18 skid by hitting a two-run homer, his fourth of the season.
Atlanta rallied for three runs in the fourth to take a 3-2 lead. Sean Murphy started it with a solo homer, his sixth. Alex Verdugo doubled in a run and later scored on Austin Riley’s infield single and a throwing error by Pallante. Riley finished with three hits.
The Braves took a 4-2 lead in the fifth on Matt Olson’s leadoff homer, his fourth, but the Cardinals tied the game with a pair of runs in the sixth. Masyn Winn, activated from the injured list earlier in the day, drove in a run with a single and Jordan Walker scored on a wild pitch.
Atlanta’s Nathan Wiles, recalled from Triple-A Gwinnett earlier in the day, made his major league debut in the ninth and allowed three runs. Victor Scott II, Winn and Nootbar each notched an RBI off Wiles.
St. Louis second baseman Brendan Donovan sat out because of a strained rib.

Chiefs’ playoff elimination and Patrick Mahomes’ knee injury puts Chiefs dynasty at a crossroads. Is it a pause or the end?
As Kansas City Chiefs defensive lineman Chris Jones processed Sunday’s 16-13 home loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, a reporter’s question about being eliminated from postseason contention seemed to suddenly register in mid-thought.“I think the score was 13-13 or 13-10, so still had a fighting chance. Um…”AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementJones paused and looked at reporters.“Are we out of the playoffs?” he asked. “We are? OK.”He pursed his lips for a moment and went silent.Those few seconds felt like reality hitting home for the Chiefs defensive star. A totality on Sunday for Kansas City — from the top of the franchise to the bottom of the fan base — that carried the wallop of a sledgehammer. There would be no astounding turnaround and run to a Super Bowl. Instead, the team’s streak of seven consecutive AFC title game appearances ended, falling one short of […]

Cowboys playoff bid in tatters after McCarthy leads Vikings to win
JJ McCarthy threw for two touchdowns and ran for one as Minnesota Vikings severely damaged Dallas' playoff hopes with a 34-26 victory over the Cowboys on Sunday night.The Vikings (6-8) won a second consecutive game after they were eliminated from the postseason playoff race before the kick-off. Minnesota was a 14-win playoff qualifier a year ago. The Cowboys (6-7-1) have to win their three remaining games and hope defending Super Bowl champion Philadelphia goes 0-3 in order for Dallas to overtake the Eagles in the NFC East. It was a second straight loss for Dallas after getting over .500 for the first time this season. "It's just a thing to keep building on the rest of the way and leading into next year," said Minnesota receiver Jalen Nailor, who caught both of McCarthy's TD passes. "We just have a one-game […]

‘I fell asleep!’ – Bunting says fans got him through thrilling first-round win
Stephen Bunting says he "fell asleep" to give Poland's Sebastian Bialecki an opportunity to knock him out of the first round at the World Darts Championship.Bialecki was on the verge of the biggest shock yet at this year's tournament as he roared back from 2-0 down to send the match to a deciding set and led 2-1 in the final set. However, world No 4 Bunting reeled off three legs in a row to avoid a major surprise but admits he "maybe thought the game was over" after dominating the opening two sets. "That was not the plan. I felt comfortable. For whatever reason, I fell asleep and to go behind in the match was a travesty, to be honest," said Bunting, who reached the semi-finals of the World Championship last year."I felt a bit worthless, but I'm happy to […]
