The St. Louis Cardinals picked up a win at Busch Stadium, knocking off the Atlanta Braves, 5-2. Starting pitcher Wei-Yin Chen, who captured player of the game honors, was a big reason why.

St. Louis occupies 4th place in the National League Central Division at 37-45.

Alex Avila swatted a 2-run home run for St. Louis in the bottom of the third. The catcher went 2 for 4 for the game, including 1 home run and 1 double. He scored 1 run and batted in 4.

"I made some pitches when I had to," said Chen.
