St. Louis Cardinals vs. Atlanta Braves WATCH MLB FREE: LIve Streaming Online from Turner Field at 7:10 PM ET
The Braves dismal losing streak finally has come to an end, but their struggles at the plate have not.
That could be an issue against Adam Wainwright, who takes the mound for the Cardinals in Wednesday night's series finale in Atlanta.
The Braves (18-14) were outscored 37-15 during a seven-game losing streak, and they scored just enough Tuesday to earn a 2-1 win over the Cardinals (17-17).
The Braves' 104 runs rank as the second-worst total in the majors ahead of San Diego.
Wainwright has fared well against Atlanta in his career, going 7-2 with a 2.98 ERA in nine starts. He gave up one run and struck out nine in a complete-game, 3-1 win over the Braves the last time he faced them Aug. 23.
St. Louis, though, has lost four of the last five meetings in Atlanta and five of seven on the road overall.
Matt Minor made his season debut Friday after recovering from a urinary tract procedure in December, allowing two runs over six innings of a 2-1 loss to the Giants. Both runs he allowed came via solo homers, and he's allowed nine long balls while going 0-5 with a 4.00 ERA over his last seven regular-season starts.
"I felt really satisfied other than we tie the ballgame up and then I go back out and give up a solo shot and we lose the game by one," Minor said. "Other than that, I came out of the game with positive notes and feeling good about my outing. Hopefully, it will get better from there and we can keep it rolling."
The left-hander has allowed six home runs in four starts against the Cardinals, though he's given up one run in seven innings in each of the last two -- both wins.
