ST. LOUIS (AP) — Mike Foltynewicz threw five shutout innings and Freddie Freeman homered in Atlanta’s victory over St. Louis.

Foltynewicz (6-4) gave up one hit — a fourth-inning single to Marcell Ozuna. He struck out nine and walked three in an 86-pitch outing. John Gant (2-3) took the loss.

A.J. Minter, a Bullard Brook Hill graduate, picked up his third save in as many tries by setting the side down in order in the ninth.

The Braves outscored St. Louis 22-10 in sweeping a three-game series in St. Louis for the first time since May 11-13, 2012. Tommy Pham homered for St. Louis.
