Goldschmidt, Nolan Arenado and Alec Burleson
also had multi-hit games for the Cardinals, who had 14 hits and
scored double-digit runs for the second consecutive game.
Dakota Hudson (6-1) pitched five-plus innings and allowed five
runs on seven hits, three walks and two strikeouts. It was
Hudson's first career win against Atlanta.
The Cardinals jumped on Atlanta ace Spencer Strider for four
runs in the first inning. Goldschmidt hit a two-run homer to
start the game. St. Louis added runs on Contreras' infield
grounder and a run-scoring single from Burleson.
Strider (16-5) worked only 2 2/3 innings, matching his shortest
start of the season, and allowed six runs on six hits, three
walks and five strikeouts, ending his four-game winning streak.
St. Louis added two more runs in the third inning and knocked
Strider out of the game. Contreras had an RBI single, and
Burleson lined into a force that scored a run.
The Braves cut the lead to 6-2 in the fourth on a run-scoring
double by Marcell Ozuna and a fielder's choice by Orlando Arcia.
The Cardinals pushed their lead to 7-2 on Winn's home run in the
top of the sixth, but Atlanta responded with three runs in the
bottom half on Matt Olson's 46th home run and a two-run single
by Michael Harris II.
Olson has homered in three straight games and joins Andruw
Jones, Hank Aaron and Eddie Mathews as the only Braves to hit
46-plus homers in a season.
Contreras homered in the seventh, but Atlanta answered in the
bottom half on Austin Riley's 34th home run.
