Suppan (6-7) tossed seven innings and gave up just five hits and three walks to record his first win at Turner Field. "It was one of those things that you go as long as you can," Suppan said. "I felt there was a couple of situations that I got out of my rhythm." Prince Fi |

The Cards just missed sweeping the Braves in a four-game road series for the first time since the 1946 season and had their three-game win streak come to an end in Thursday's series finale.
