Braves Shellac Cardinals, 16-3
The Atlanta Braves stopped the St. Louis Cardinals, 16-3, behind an impressive performance from Eddie Mathews. The 12-time All-Star made life miserable for St. Louis pitching. He was 4-5 with a home run, 3 singles, and a walk, while adding 4 RBI and scoring once. The winning pitcher was Richard Allen. He tossed 100 pitches over 8 innings, allowing 3 runs on 9 hits. The win gives Atlanta a season record of 17-17.

With Atlanta leading 1-0 in the top of the first, Mathews hit a slider from Robert Proctor for a 2-run home run. It was his 8th home run of the season and put the Braves ahead, 3-0.

"That's what I call an offensive explosion," said Mathews after the game.
