Two innings after his leaping catch in deep center field helped force a tie game into extra innings Thursday at Truist Park, Carlson put the Cardinals ahead with his third hit in a game he did not start. Carlson’s single in the 11th inning scored Nolan Arenado to take the Cardinals’ third lead of the game, and this one held. Packy Naughton closed out the 11th for a 3-2 victory against the Braves and his first save of the season. Twice the Cardinals got a sacrifice fly to take a lead and attempt to leave Atlanta with a souvenir other than a losing streak. Each time, the tenacious Braves answered in the same inning. By rule, Arenado started the 11th on second base. He reached third when Nolan Gorman singled to right, and that brought up Carlson to send Arenado home as the go-ahead run. The Cardinals’ outfielder pinch-hit in the seventh inning to take part in the Cardinals’ first rally, and by the end of the game he had gone 3 for 3 with a pivotal catch. The first half of the game was dictated by one young pitcher finding his footing in the majors and another who has announced his arrival with dominance. [/QUOTE]
