"
Ozzie Albies doubled and scored the winning run on Masyn Winn’s throwing error in the ninth inning, allowing the Atlanta Braves to avoid a sweep against the St. Louis Cardinals with a 4-3 win Sunday. Moments before the decisive run scored, Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol was ejected after a failed challenge when JoJo Romero (1-3) hit Michael Harris II with a two-strike pitch with two outs. Marmol's 23rd career ejection tied Whitey Herzog and Roger Bresnahan for second among Cardinals managers, trailing only Tony La Russa’s 39.
