The Atlanta Braves opened a seven-game homestand Wednesday night with a 4-3 loss to the St. Louis Cardinals at Truist Park, undone by a two-run 9th inning that Atlanta’s bullpen could not hold.

Matt Olson drove in two runs and Michael Harris II added an RBI single, but Raisel Iglesias could not protect a one-run lead in the top of the 9th. With one out, Lars Nootbaar lined a single to left and Matthew Liberatore followed with a two-out double to right-center that scored two and put St. Louis ahead 4-3.
