What happened: Brewer Hicklen joined CJ Nitkowski for a postgame interview after Atlanta's 4-3 win over St. Louis. The win came in the final game of the two teams' series.
Why it matters: St. Louis had taken the previous two meetings by scores of 4-1 and 2-1 before Atlanta's win, and the Cardinals still hold a 4-2 edge in the season series. Atlanta enters at 49-37 on the year, St. Louis at 44-41.
By the numbers: Atlanta scores 4.8 runs per game and allows 3.8; St. Louis scores 4.4 and allows 4.5. St. Louis had won three of the previous four meetings between the clubs, including an 11-5 win on July 2 at Atlanta.
What to watch: Hicklen and the Braves close out their trip to St. Louis with the series standing at 4-2 Cardinals.
